Flights from UK 'escape US bans.'

In other words the UK sticks two fingers up at the EU and its own domestic data protection laws and gives the US everything it wants.

Cause for concern is that it's possible that even more information is being requested, collected, collated and sent over. But we're not going to hear about it because it's secret.
