<nettime> Summer Holiday Advice For Your Next Flights - Check Reality UpDates

[Paolo Cirio <info@bidibid.org>]

IMPORTANT SECURITY INFORMATION

For your next summer flights, you may have to check to see whether
your clothes are 'peaceful enough': T-shirts with offensive images
could be a danger to other people. Is that real? Is your gun real?

Gun T-shirt - 'it is a security risk' at a London airport.
BBC News. 2 June 2008. A man wearing a T-shirt depicting a
cartoon character holding a gun was stopped from boarding
a flight by the security at Heathrow's Terminal 5.

PRESS RELEASE Updated - 20 June 08 - www.Check-Check.org

Online since September 2007, check-check.org focuses on airport
security regulations. In particular, we put the spotlight on the
tactics of fear-mongering that are being employed in airports ? for
some time now authorities have been with people?s minds in their
attempt to generate a culture of anxiety.

Recently, Airport Security Measures have come under strong criticism.
People are finally feeling free enough to debate the absurd hysteria
and exploitation that has defined the post-9/11 world. We would like
the image of our project to serve two purposes. Firstly, we wish to
join with and contribute to the recent wave of support for rationalism
and independent thinking. At the same time, we wish to clearly oppose
the counteroffensive of certain specific groups - those who would
maintain and increase social controls, those who are involved in the
business of security devices, and those who promulgate a vision of the
world as being in a state of emergency.

Our efforts and research continues in this area because we believe it
to be a symbolic representation of this sort of war propaganda. These
issues affect everyone, regardless of whether they are involved in the
debates surrounding politics, war or freedom.


So, We are delighted to introduce new stuff about
the Transportation Security Administration: (

iticisms )

- An art installation which displays ordinary objects seen in a new,
dangerous light. In the context of the airport, many objects that
ordinarily seem harmless are seen as potential weapons of destruction.

- A blog with selected updated news about TSA security measures,
like the funny t-shirt case and other incredible stories
which happen daily in all the airports of this small world.

- We are glad to announce our detailed interview requested
by Voices of Resistance from Occupied London in the Issue
Three, Urgencies of Everyday life: Between Here and the Outside

- We are continuing our online platform in order to deprogram
people from PsyOps of the Security Theatre. Because "Contrary
to state-owned media or international political agencies, the
Internet is said to be an effective therapeutic tool for a variety
of symptoms and disorders, for its displaced, non-personal, but
direct connection." Check- Check.org wants to get in touch with
all beings suffering from the ambivalence of reality and would
give you the opportunity of a self psycho-analyzation in the
airport scenario. http://www.check-check.org/index_sound.html
