Robotic CCTV Camera Strippers, No Touching Allowed

Gilles Walker writes:

‘PEEPSHOW’ – we are now all living in a peepshow. Continually being watched by mechanical peeping toms.

With this in mind, I was amused by the way that the expression ‘sexed-up’ had been introduced into British politik speak..and how it was now firmly established in the press vocabulary. It is not hard to see how this expression is linked with the concept of surveillance as it is sold to the British public with ‘sexed-up’ statistics in dossiers about the threat of crime and terrorism. Britain is now the most monitored country in the world with CCTV cameras the foot-soldiers of this phenomena…..

I wondered if it was possible to literally ‘sex-up’ a CCTV camera with simple mechanics…and by using the imagery of a pole dancer question the roles played in voyeurism, such as who holds the power …the observer or the observed.’

TSA Xray Hacking

Evan Roth is one Bad Ass Mofo. Check out his latest project:

“T.S.A. Communication is a project that alters the airport security experience and allows the government to learn more about you then just what’s in your backpack. Thin 8.5 x 11 inch laser-cut sheets of stainless steel comfortably fit in your carry on bag, simultaneously obscuring the contents you don’t want the TSA to see while highlighting ideas you do want them to see. Change your role as air traveler from passive to active.”

UPDATE: The official TSA blog has written about it.
