Re: Airport Security Identifies Clown As Potential TerroristIt is clear that security, from the desktop PC to airport safety to credit cards to macro-economics, has become deeply intertwined with politics and personal fears and belief systems. Unfortunate as this may be.
Airport screening has evolved way past the simple 'have you ever left your luggage unattended' to incredibly intrusive, invasive and dehumanizing techniques, as many have discussed here.
Constantly changing international and domestic, group and individual, animosities, attitudes and relationships have played demonstratively significant roles. Not only by stoking fear, but also by providing impetus for the technical development of new security techniques, new threat detection mechanisms, advanced potential target assessment, and large corporate profits. Some companies' and political entities' bottom lines depend on continuing fear and the resulting loss of privacy and security.
These are major issues that affect us all. Us all. We are fortunate that here we are afforded the latitude to discuss and share a variety of such issues, and even their potential peripheral impacts. We cannot fully know how these issues will morph into a wildly uncertain future. And how computer technology, security and privacy may be implemented and targeted by this apparently nightmarish evolution. |
