Abstract
Biometrics has emerged as a rapidly moving technology that has been continuously evolving and improving. It has even been incorporated as a form of counterterrorism, preventing incidents of terrorism as well as providing safety measures. While various researchers have analyzed the effectiveness of biometric counterterrorism measures, the factors behind the reasonings of those decision making process of implementation have been untouched. This paper looks to analyze the factors through a case study on the events of September 11, 2001, using a qualitative thematic analysis to identify the factors. It is important to note that rather than analyzing secondhand sources, this study will analyze first hand sources throughout the study. Through this study, it can be concluded that there are five main factors behind implementation of biometric counterterrorism policies: ensuring safety if a terrorist incident were to happen, increasing security to prevent the incident from occurring, public sentiment, potential to become in the future, and current effectivity.
