"Mr President, a completely safe society is no police state. A police state is a suspicious and insecure society in which no one wants to live. Constantly increased police powers will never prevent all terrorism and organised crime but only undermine democracy. The best weapon is reduced recruitment to crime syndicates and terrorist groups, brought about through tolerance, social cohesion and lower levels of poverty and through permitting legal immigration. When people do not feel oppressed or excluded, they are not such easy recruits. Biometric passes are not as effective as you maintain, Mr Clarke.

For the EU alone, biometric passes would cost approximately EUR 10 billion. They are not worth the money."@en1
