Essentially with any type of biometric, or what I call intelligence collection, there's a privacy risk by default. The only way that I think you can measure that privacy risk is by enhancing the actual abilities—the technological as well as human capabilities—of the enforcement officers abroad. What I would essentially say is better training of your law enforcement intelligence officers who go abroad to provide this intelligence collection activity, particularly anything that has to do with source operations, or things that have to do with espionage.... Those individuals have to be the most highly trained before they go on assignment. That would be the first step, because if you don't have these measures in place, the privacy of the individuals who are being investigated, which is already by default at risk, will grow by tenfold.
