From Security to Privacy Invasion: Finding the Right Balance

The international environment has become increasingly dangerous for travellers since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Has the situation actually worsened or were the risks always there? This seminar examines the relationship between travellers' security and data privacy concerns, as well as how attitudes towards risk acceptance have evolved. A security expert and a civil rights advocate discuss the legal implications for both corporations and suppliers of travel in the age of terrorism, as well as weigh in on the latest security initiatives in the U.S. and Europe.
