As technologies are not empty receptacles for discursive matters, nor fixed sources of meaning (Barad, 2007;Aradau, 2010), input to the co-constitutive process of developing security practices can be selected strategically. As it is not self-evident which actors' interests are to be taken into account when security technologies are devised, taking proper care of the democratic processes in which threats are mobilized could help finding more beneficial arrangements.…”
