The European Union has instructed member countries to tighten border security.  The new policies will include fingerprinting and screening of all visitors, including Americans, to European countries and will cost several billion dollars.

Nicolas Sarkozy took over the leadership position of the EU on the first of July and is making "border management" and immigration policies some of  his top priorities.

Satellite tracking will be used to monitor "illegal immigrants" and many believe privacy and human rights abuses could result.

Kinda like closing the barn doors way too late, though.
