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:

)
- 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 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.
