BIOMETRICS AND SECURITY Scientists, Government Officials to Assess Impact of Biometrics on Terrorism, Civil Liberties

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2003 — Government officials, scientists, and scholars will participate in a morning CSIS conference analyzing the impact of biometrics technology on terrorism, constitutional privacy, and civil liberties on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at CSIS, 1800 K Street, NW, B-1 conference level.

Jeff Jonas, founder and chief scientist at Systems Research and Development, will address identity, or knowing who is who in the age of the asymmetric threat, in an address beginning at 9:10 A.M.

Two panels will focus on biometric technology developments and the civil liberty implications of biometrics.

"The technological revolution speeds forward at an ever-faster pace. Nanotechnology, dismissed as a bogus science 10 years ago, has arrived. Within 10 years, electronics will be worn, ingested or implanted. It’s time to face the future, make the most of it, ever mindful of our fundamental rights," said CSIS Transnational Threat Initiative Director Arnaud de Borchgrave.
