Conclusion: Radical Ambiguity and the Default to Decency -- Notes -- IndexThe inspections we put up with at airport gates and the endless warnings we get at train stations, on buses, and all the rest are the way we encounter the vast apparatus of U.S. security. Like the wars fought in its name, these measures are supposed to make us safer in a post-9/11 world. But do they? Against Security explains how these regimes of command-and-control not only annoy and intimidate but are counterproductive. Sociologist Harvey Molotch takes us through the sites, the gizmos, and the politics to urge greater trust in basic citizen capacities-along with smarter design of public spaces. In a new preface, he discusses abatement of panic and what the NSA leaks reveal about the real holes in our security.TerrorismPreventionGovernment policyUnited StatesNational securityUnited StatesTransportationSecurity measuresUnited StatesFreedom Tower.Ground Zero.Gulf Coast.Hurricane Katrina.New Orleans.New York subway system.One World Trade Center.U.S. security.air travel.airport security.airports.anxiety.body search.canals.class.command and control.command.control.crises.danger.disaster response.ecological reform.fear of flying.fear.gender discrimination.human goals.human territory.levees.mass transport.natural disasters.post 9/11.public policy.public restroom.public restrooms.public transport.race.rebuilding.remediation.safety.security policy.security.threat.TerrorismPreventionGovernment policyNational securityTransportationSecurity measures363.325170973Molotch Harvey Luskin276319Molotch Harvey276319MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785622603321Against security3731461UNINA
