The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.

Specifics matter. I would be fine with an endpoint that given the passport/id card allows to do a basic check for any severe offenses - as often performed for childcare jobs, too.

Anything beyond that sounds bad.

Why? Who cares about "offenses" of a random traveler. Why do you trust an international crime db to be accurate?

Most care about severe offenses. Trust is not binary. Please make your point or I feel like this is getting nowhere.

If the offenses are note-worthy, they should be in jail. If not then no-one needs to be aware of them.
