3 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This report presents the findings of telephone surveys conducted September 18-30, 2001 and August This report presents the findings of telephone surveys conducted 15-18, 2002 among national probability samples of 1017 and 1046 adults, respectively, 18 years of September 18-30, 2001 and August 15-18, 2002 among national age and older, living in private households in the continental United States. The 2002 study was probability samples of 1017 and 1046 adults, respectively, 18 years of age the attacks and of older, September living 11. in private households in the continental United States. The 2002 study was intended to examine if there had been shifts SEARCH, in acting public with opinion Dr. Alan Westin, as the a well-respected nation moved expert further on issues of away privacy from and the the use of attacks of September 11. intended to examine if there had been shifts in public opinion as the nation moved further away from personal information, commissioned Opinion Research Corporation International (ORC International) to conduct this research. The primary purpose of the studies is to assess public attitudes toward the SEARCH, use of biometrics acting for identifying with Dr. persons Alan more Westin, accurately a well-respected and for helping to prevent expert crimes on such issues as of identity privacy theft. and the use of personal information, commissioned Opinion Research Corporation International (ORC International) to conduct this research. The primary purpose of the studies is to assess public attitudes toward the use of biometrics for identifying persons more accurately and for helping to prevent crimes such as identity theft.

However, both an identification the strength and crime of that prevention support tool. has However, eroded the somewhat strength of that as support evidenced has eroded by the decreasing somewhat evidenced proportion by the of decreasing American proportion adults who of American believe adults specific who believe uses of specific biometrics uses of are biometrics very justified are very justified and by and a slight by a slight increase in the proportion who who believe believe the use the of biometric biometric techniques would techniques not be limited would solely not to be anti-terrorist limited solely work. to anti-terrorist use of work.

Men, whites, adults living in the West and more affluent and better-educated adults There is are some more evidence likely that than the use average of biometric to report identification awareness is increasing of biometric somewhat. Among all techniques. adults, including those who are unaware of biometric techniques, 5% provided characteristics in 2002, compared with 3% in Among those aware of the techniques, one in ten (11%, up from 5% in There is some evidence that the use of biometric identification is increasing 2001) have personally provided identifying characteristics to an organization for a computer-matched somewhat.

The 2001 study suggests that the generally positive attitudes towards fingerprinting carry over to The finger-imaging study More suggests than three that in the four adults generally (77%) positive feel that finger-imaging attitudes towards protects individuals fingerprinting against fraud; only carry 20% think over finger-imaging to finger-imaging. treats people More like presumed than three criminals. in four Finger-imaging adults (77%) is viewed feel even that more finger-imaging positively by victims protects of identity individuals fraud. against fraud; only 20% think finger-imaging treats people like presumed criminals. Finger-imaging is viewed even more positively by victims of identity fraud. GENERAL PRIVACY ISSUES The misuse of personal information is a major concern among most Americans (87% in 2001 and 88% GENERAL PRIVACY ISSUES in 2002); about half in both years said they were very concerned about it.

PROJECTIONS Overall, two in three adults in 2001 (65%) felt that increases in correct identification of people, with rules in place as a required code for biometrics, would outweigh concerns about having to provide the identifiers; while still a majority, in 2002 this fell to 56%.

12 READING NOTES The following pages present supporting tabulations of survey results. The data are percentaged vertically and, therefore, should be read from top-to-bottom. The total number of unweighted interviews appears at the top in parentheses. Percentages, however, are calculated on the weighted bases. Percentages may not add to 100% due to weighting factors, rounding or multiple responses. Where a double asterisk (**) appears, it signifies any value of less than one_half percent. Comparisons of independent sub-groups have been made when those differences are mathematically significant. Significance testing is done to the 95% confidence level. Note that any statistical test becomes less reliable when the sample sizes are small. Even though the test mathematically can be performed on samples as low as thirty, sixty respondents is the reasonable lower bound on the size of the sample.

13 DETAILED FINDINGS Biometrics Opinion Research Corporation Founded 1938
14 BIOMETRICS Knowledge Of Biometric Techniques One-half of American adults report that they have previously heard of biometric identification techniques. Contrary to expectations, the proportion of adults who say they are aware of biometrics has remained stable from September 2001 (52%) to August 2002 (49%)*. This suggests that while there has been a decided increase in media coverage of biometrics in the past year, awareness among the general public of biometric identifiers as a distinct, currently available technology has not spread beyond those aware of the techniques a year ago. *There is no significant difference between the 2001 and 2002 results. When examining the results for 2001 and 2002 separately, the margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points; this increases to plus or minus four percentage points when comparing the 2001 results to the 2002 results.
