CSC Worldbridge (UK Biometric Outsource to US Corp)
I wonder how much information is going into their data mining, given the UK outsourced collection of it's biometrics to American CSC Corp and is currently taking the biometrics of European residents that visit the UK, when they apply for their visa. Your turn soon brits, CSC will need your biometrics soon!
Here's the German embassy version of it:
