10th annual report of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Commissioner
Politics (wiki) - urs @ 11:12:36

Mr. Thür, our SDPC Commissioner, stated [1] a sentence in his annual report I have been waiting for [2]:
Zunehmend werden wir uns mit der Tatsache auseinander setzen müssen, dass die USA unter dem Deckmantel der Terrorismusbekämpfung versuchen wollen, die Souveränität in der Gesetzgebung der Länder ohne Verhandlung durch einseitiges Diktat zu unterlaufen [und] dass dieser Versuch der Einflussnahme durchaus ernst zu nehmen ist [..]
On behalf of the fight against terrorism the U.S. try to occur the sovereignty of legislation in liberal countries. According to Mr. Thür this attempt of the influencing control has to be taken quite seriously. He later points out an example regarding the treatment of personal data by U.S. Customs on behalf of flights to the U.S. [4]

So if the airline Swiss passses passenger data to the U.S. Customs it most likely breaks Swiss Federal Law, in that case Data Protection Law Art. 6 [5], since their is no bilateral contract or legislation with the U.S. at the moment.
