Article – Driving Your Liberties Away: Biometrics and ‘Enhanced’ Drivers Licenses

Posted on November 11, 2008 by Christopher

200811111603I’ve recently published an article on the issues surrounding biometric data that will be included in the new Ontario drivers licenses that will be available beginning in 2009. This is intended to complement my earlier piece where I discussed concerns that are raised by the radio identifier that will be inserted in the licenses.
