Statewatch analysis (pdf)

"This Commission initiative is entirely directed at the "needs" of the agencies not the "needs" of the people. It presumes that multinationals and state agencies can be trusted to know what is best for us.

The quality of democratic life is too important to be decided by multinationals and the law enforcement and security agencies"

Commission Green Paper: on detection technologies in the work of law enforcement, customs and other security authorities
