You think the anti-terrorist no-fly list would scale like that?

Yes, of course it would, why not? Hardware is cheap these days. For a
bigger database, all you need is more storage and more/faster CPUs.

No, the scarce resource is those deciding who to put on the list, and
handling complaints when people are denied boarding.

Better that it be done once, centrally,

By a huge team of people?

rather than by individual
passport desk officers making snap decisions after asking a few
questions and doing their own on-line checks. After all, the number to
be excluded will be a tiny proportion of all EU citizens, or even of
EU citizens wanting to travel to the UK.

I thought we were told this is a huge problem with hundreds of thousands
of economic migrants from the EU.
