Abstract

This paper examines the legal and practical issues surrounding electronic surveillance systems implemented since the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks in three countries: the United States of America, Singapore and Australia. The paper determines their effectiveness on border security, particularly at airports. Notably, the response of each country has been influenced by its cultural structure. Central to advanced security technologies is the field of biometrics.
