Abstract: | I argue in this paper that the development and convergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) is creating
a global network of surveillance capabilities which affect the traveler. These surveillance capabilities are reminiscent of
18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon, and as such the emerging global surveillance network has been referred
to as the travel panopticon. I argue that the travel panopticon is corrosive of personal autonomy, and in doing so I describe
and analyse various philosophical approaches to personal autonomy. |
