Abstract

This paper discusses concerns pertaining to the absoluteness of the right to privacy regarding the use of biometric data for border control. The discussion explains why privacy cannot be absolute from different points of view, including privacy versus national security, privacy properties conflicting with border risk analysis, and Privacy by Design (PbD) and engineering design challenges.
