x-axis : number of immigrants
y-axis : terrorism
We should interview Mr.Martin!!![:
MAR.1.2011
We changed y-axis to "airport security" from "terrorism" since the terrorism is unpredictable.
By examining the current circumstances in the world linked with terrorism, it is difficult to say whether it increase or decrease. Therefore the overall picture of terrorism at the moment is unclear.
Also, recently, airport security has been developing and progressing.

.::Workshop #3: Picture of Now::.
March 26, 2011Definition: a passport is a document, issued by a national government, which certifies, for the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its holder.
A passport does not of itself entitle the passport holder entry into another country, nor to consular protection while abroad or any other privileges.
In the later part of the nineteenth century and up to World War I, passports were not required, on the whole, for travel within Europe, and crossing a border was straightforward.
Types of Passports:
1. Full
a. Ordinary - regular citizens, most issued type
b. Official - gov't employees, work-related travel
c. Diplomatic - issued to diplomats for work-related travel, does not mean diplomatic immunity, does not mean visa-free travel
d. Emergency - issued to those who have lost their passports or have had them stolen, and those who do not have time to get a new one
e. Collective - defined groups to particular destinations
f. Family - one passport for one family
-our research showed that immigration actually increased after 9/11 occurred; the current situation in the world fits into the first quadrant
-Also, the electronic passport a.k.a. e-passport represents how progress has been made towards creating something similar to that of
a global passport.
Organizations:
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) - issues passport standards that are treated as recommendations to national governments

E-Passports
March 27, 2011.::Workshop #4- Creating Stories (Scenarios)::.
April 3, 2011Solution: Quadrant 1- Immigration increases, while airport security increases as well. Therefore, fewer global passports would be issued.
Wild card condition:
-When another 9/11 attack occurs, it is expected immigration will decrease, and airport security will increase.
-Therefore, less global passports would be issued.
-Eventually, immigration would increase again. This relates with the past in how immigration had increased after 9/11 occurred.
Our definition of global passport is a passport that would be less restrictive in the sense that additional visas or paperwork would not be required to
travel to other countries. It would work as an electric passport as well. As the advances of technology have been incorporated in passports today,
such as the biometric passport, the global passport would serve as a tool to combat terrorism.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WorldCitizen/message/4543?var=1
first link: refers to a controversy in netherlands over installing a gov database for fingerprints, (plans for fingerprint database)
-in efforts to combat issues such as identity theft and terrorism. citizens that applied for new passports
were required to get fingerprints. also show increase in immigrants & increase in airport security.
-2nd example: Interpol planned for global database of biometric facial information. this database would be used with biometric fingerprints that are planted in the chips
-Passengers would be matched to a digital image of the face stored on a microchip in the new e-passports
-so e-passports would have fingerprint as well as one's face image

- interpol has global database of stolen and lost passports
-integral in combating international crime and terrorism
