I really don't think they do share criminal record information on every passenger....doesn't sound like it above either.

the data "is checked against the combined federal law enforcement database, known as the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS). IBIS includes data from the databases of CBP and twenty-one other federal agencies. Names are also checked against the FBI's National Crime Information Center wanted persons database."

the only two countries I can find that openly share criminal record info are the US and Canada...nothing else anywhere about the UK/US.

have you got any concrete evidence they share this info jay?....i'm really hoping they don't is all!

This is what I was told by the emmigration guys, and I'm drawing teh conclusion from the fact that I know probably over 2 dozen people who've been flagged up with convictions even though they have declared nothing!!
