Giving EU air-passenger data to US DHS is illegal

The EU's top legal eagle has said that it's illegal for the EU to give passengers' personal information to the US Department of Homeland Security:

An agreement by EU governments to give the US Homeland Security Department details of all passengers flying between the EU and the US has been cast in doubt by one of the EU's top law officers.

The Advocate General, the top legal advisor of the European Court of Justice, says that last year's air passenger data agreement must be annulled because it breached EU law.
