Or a logical way of allowing people to transfer from one flight to another with a minimum of fuss and complexity international > international, international > EU (I know it is international but it is different) or international > domestic.
The US approach of making everyone clear immigration even if they are departing immediately is equally flawed and illogical IMHO.
Funny that they have been trumpeting this technology for months but only now are people noticing.
Mickey Mouse has my fingerprint. It is the only way I can get a multiday pass to his house. I am probably more concerned with MM having my fingerprint on file until my never expires pass is used up than BAA having it for 24 hours. I imagine that they purge this data each night as the airport shuts down from midnight - 5am (though on days of major delays I guess the purge will have to be deferred).
