This paper assesses European measures implemented within the scope of the Schengen borders regime after 2001. In particular, it examines the re-introduction of border checks along with the plan to place protestors under surveillance and deny entry to suspected troublemakers. The paper also evaluates the policies on intrusive surveillance through the use of biometric technologies and databases, as well as the controversial EU/US bilateral relations on the transfer of Passenger Name Record information (PNR).
