Abstract
Supreme Court has ruled that privacy is a
fundamental right, but it is obvious that the limits
on the rights of the citizen and whether or not
they are being curtailed are up for question. The
collection of biometric data was one among
several concerns that the right to privacy raised.
This judicial process resonated with a similar
concern that was taken up in the aftermath of 9/
11 in the United States. As the Patriot Act came
into effect, concerns about the evasion of
individual civil liberties were brought to the fore.
Finger printing and other biopolitical practices at
airports became the norm after 9/11.
