Chapter 3: Biometrics

Page 45:
This chapter was written before Edward Snowden's disclosures, before mass surveillance had become a verifiable reality in the public consciousness. The type of surveillance and administration immigrants are subject to are more direct and more immediately consequential than the general population experiences. That is not to suggest that any amount of unwarranted surveillance is acceptable.
