iris/retina scan, etc) should be issued to allow for simple, efficient documentation and combating fraud. A program on such a scale would constitute a major shift in the dynamics of our current data-sharing regime. It would also raise serious privacy concerns, which generally accompany the use of any biometric identification system. Canada and the US already cooperate on API/PNR traveler screening measures, immigration controls and refugee screening processes. However, the global implications for all individuals affected by this new model -- be they travelers, immigrants or refuges -- should be examined to understand the net effect on broader privacy rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights . There are two principal alternatives on which such an exit/entry regime could be modeled. The first is the European model, whereby citizens of member states are granted freedom of movement within all 25 European Union (EU) states. Passports are scanned at the port of entry and the information is recorded and logged to the Schengen Information System (SIS) [19] . As more countries opt for machine-readable or chip-enabled travel documents, this information is automatically collected, shared and validated among EU customs. If information-sharing triggers particular interest by a member state, SIS provides high-level "alerts" for very specific purposes - finding missing persons, recovery of stolen luggage or prior crimes committed within the Schengen area. When the passport bearer later exits the European Union, their port of departure is recorded and also transmitted among all states. In theory, once admitted
