Abstract
The position we have taken in editing this book is that for better or worse, biometric technologies are here to stay. The best answer to those who fear an Orwellian future is not merely to provide optimistic reassurances (which rarely reassure anyone), but rather to engage with the technology and seek to ensure that biometric identification systems are developed in positive ways.

Julie Inness defines privacy as “the state of possessing control over a realm of intimate decisions, which includes decisions about intimate access, intimate information, and intimate actions”. See Inness (1992).
