"Issues relating to the handling and transfer of personal data are always especially complex due to the many human rights and security issues that they raise. The attacks that took place on 11 September 2001 laid bare the weaknesses in airport security systems and have led to an understanding, shared by most democratic countries and governments, that there are, in fact, limits to privacy and to the inviolability of personal data, and that this is justified solely in situations in which the safety and lives of others may be at risk. The criticisms of the majority’s understanding of this by some sectors seeking to assert the primacy of individual privacy over collective security are well known. However, their arguments are not enough to convince people boarding aeroplanes, who, for the most part, do not mind sharing their personal data, since they know that they are limiting the terrorists’ impunity and ability to act by doing so. The agreement between the EU and Australia seeks to achieve a reasonable balance between the rights and interests in question."@en1
