To a large extent, security today is underpinned by data. From airline passenger data and intelligent border crossing checkpoints to the extra-legal practices of intelligence agencies, data empowers automated, large-scale algorithmic exploitation of information. In this vein, security is an operation of risk assessment, of the identification of the suspicious and abnormal, and of fine-grained predictions of possible futures in order to intervene and prevent those futures. It is necessary to closely look at contemporary shifts in security practices: the changing modes of algorithmic knowledge generation that they rely on, as well as the normative consequences that emerge from them.
