Abstract

Industrialized countries face the challenge of spotting international terrorists at points of entry and homegrown terrorists on their borders. This paper reviews the development of detection programs since 9/11 and identifies three emerging trends that, it argues, will shape the security environment in North America in the years to come. The first trend is a move away from evidence-based detection to rule-based discovery. The second trend is a move away from the observation of actual behaviour to the analysis of electronic records. The third trend is a move away from national discovery systems to multinational structures. The paper will explain each of these three trends and briefly explore their implications for individual privacy.
