Monitored in his homeland, travels, work, kitchen, and bedroom, observed both awake and asleep. An individual or a member of an organization, sports club, or even an animal welfare association is under surveillance. Tracked for identity through fingerprints, eye scans, and other means when applying for a visa. The utility of RFID for identity verification questioned. Why is terrorism not precisely defined? Why the vagueness of 'enemy'? Are security measures justified in the name of national and international safety and anti-terrorism efforts? The book examines security theories starting from anthropometry in the 19th century, through the global Echelon project, to the Patriot Act in the United States. It discusses major philosophers like Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze. It highlights the growth of security forces, methods of surveillance, prosecution, torture, and aligns with the latest criminology theories. It explores how crime development prompts new control methods like raids, questioning, and trials. Covers all security fields from food to economic, political, self-security, and national security. Distinguishes genuine security needs for human safety from excuses to restrict freedoms and control by states or intelligence.
