Hello everyone,

I had a question about passport scanning in different contrives and information shared with others . So when an American citizen say flys to Japan - EU or Australia at their border or air port the agents grabs the passport and scans through their reader, What exactly can the see I know now I sounded like a person who really scared haha but nothing serious. But what exactly what can they view from someone's data in their systems, just a thought ?

I assume they can view any entries related to you in their Interpol (and what not) data base... e.g. if there are international warrants out for you. I don't think they can view anything minor going on domestically, e.g. DUI entries.

I know for a fact Canada,

have arrests and crimes in

your past Australia & (I think the UK)

AU is more lenient with DUI & none violent

crimes that U disclosed on declaration

form, they will ask U about it if its disclosed

& decide on entry, if U lied they will return

U to the US on the next flight.If U have done

over 3 yrs of incarceration they are incline

to not admit you.New Zealand works closely with AU

UK has Interpol that share everything with the US

and the US with them at airport.they also work closely

with France

Canada wont allow U in ..not even with past DUI

U have to apply to Quebec (I think) for a waiver

that takes almost a yr and they adjudicate then

approve or disaprove

Hmm maybe my question was once they scan a US passport what details are viewed by them? What is stored on that barcode?
