http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/surveillance-and-society/article/download/3426/3389 This article explores the effects of post-9/11 security programs on mobility into and within the United States. Specific programs such as retinal scanning and vehicle preclearance are analyzed according to the differential effects they generate in terms of risk, rights and speed of movement. These differentiations suggest that individuals and groups will be identified in unequal ways, and that they will in turn experience their mobility differently. In the end, the analysis provided here adds complexity to current theorizations about citizenship and identity: it shows that while individuals make claims to new and different kinds of citizenship, state power also makes claims on individuals that do not always depend on citizenship. In view of the manifest inequalities resulting from the mobility control practices currently in use, rethinking of those practices is warranted, and an emphasis on shared burdens would be more productive. Part 1: Emerging Issues in the Securitization of Movement The terrible events of 9/11 gave impetus to two emerging trends: the spreading out of border-like inspections from boundaries to the rest of society (in particular, throughout the transportation system), and the differential treatment of travelers as they move within this network of checkpoints. A vital thread of social-political inquiry concerns itself with relationships between state power and identity formation. In collective as well as individual dimensions, identity is impacted upon when states consolidate, reconfigure and deploy power. We need to explore such issues in emerging forms of mobility control, both documenting their forms as state activity and analyzing their effects on social groupings and self-understandings. In a world where movement within and across borders is increasingly important to people's life projects (e.g., work, and association with others), we are led to ask about how these new forms of mobility control actually shape what people think and do.
