Abstract
The speech argues for maximum use of the new technologies of security and surveillance and for prevention, categorical suspicion, non-consensual data collection, the soft and hard engineering of behavior, and the increased blurring of borders between public and private security and more generally government and civil society. Rocky Bottoms delivers an optimistic, techno-surveillance world view. Regardless of the work setting he is in, his actions involve surveillance that is impersonal, non-reciprocal, and organizational and involves internal and external constituencies. When he acts as a representative of government his position reflects the legal power to coerce. Bottoms is the paradigmatic security professional, whose experience reflects major strands of the new surveillance. His career moves reflect the significant blurring between, and even merging, of public- and private-sector ideas, practices, personnel, roles and forms of organization. In Bottoms we see overlap and convergence in the structure and functioning of diverse institutions which are all technology-based and concerned with controlling people and information, whatever the more specific goal. These developments may result from their common culture, shared perceptions of threats, and similar interests and opportunities, entrepreneurial export, fads and fashion, and processes of globalization.
