Abstract:

Private security personnel greatly rely upon information gathered within the open source realm of publicly available facts and figures, as well as private interactions with the juridicly-recognized law enforcement entities of recognized nation-states and their subordinate regions. Decisive action, whether extensive investments for enhanced infrastructures for information-gathering or legal prosecution and/or incarceration, remain tasks still resident within the state-dependent actors. But these actors behave in manners quite similar to corporate behaviors of normalcy, offsetting costs, re-allocating blame, and claiming credit where credit is not due. Furthermore private security actors, often populated by individuals recently (or only partly) retired from the state sector, have come to fill in niche services, solicited to the (vocational) community of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Systems such as the inter-state MATRIX computerized system of likely terrorist profiling, based on data-mining and bioinformatics, have showed the market for technological applications in the counter-terrorism realm. The formation of communities of experts, steeped in the transfer of intelligence and frequent liaisons with vocational counterparts, across the old public/private divide, has taken place as the Egmont Group has evolved into the Coalition of the Willing. The constant shifting of indefensible and volatile services off to external affiliates, takes place in the private sector with private security corporations (such as the Steele Foundation protecting both Bremer as well as Aristide), and in the public sector with the transfer of terrorism suspects to nations whose intelligence agencies insert physical abuse into the rendering period that occurs prior to interrogation. These are two of the most extreme examples, but a normalcy of constant surveillance since 9/11 will also be addressed.
