Security specialists and MEPs are calling for an EU-wide Passenger Name Record (PNR), a measure which would require more systematic collection, use and retention of data on international airline passengers.
PNR, or Passenger Name Record – is being touted as an efficient new measure to tackle crime and terrorism. However, many are concerned about such a system jeopardizing rights to privacy and data protection.
Is there any proof that data retention stops terrorism? How do you feel about a computer deciding if you are a criminal threat or not? On this edition of Looking Forward co-hosts Svetlana Ekimenko and acclaimed Russian writer Victor Erofeyev are joined by Rafi Sela, the president of AR Challenges, a global transportation security consultancy from Israel, to discuss the contentious PNR.
