Biometric recognition at airport border raises privacy concerns, says expert

Plan would involve 90% of passengers being processed through Australian immigration without human involvement

A plan to rely on biometric recognition to further automate airport border processing raises privacy and ethical concerns about data security, according to an expert.

But another information security analyst says the plan - which would involve 90% of passengers being processed through Australian airport immigration without human involvement - would not present any more privacy concerns than current border control regimes.
