Flying without a Passport: A Future of Efficiency or a Privacy Nightmare?

The paper examines the application of biometric recognition (e.g., facial recognition) in airports as a response to the growing demand for efficiency, security, and a "touchless journey." The main focus is on the critical debate surrounding privacy and personal data protection. Biometric data is classified as a "special category" under the GDPR, which imposes rigorous security and consent requirements.

Abstract

The paper examines the application of biometric recognition (e.g., facial recognition) in airports as a response to the growing demand for efficiency, security, and a "touchless journey." The main focus is on the critical debate surrounding privacy and personal data protection. Biometric data is classified as a "special category" under the GDPR, which imposes rigorous security and consent requirements.
