Rachel Hall characterizes post-9/11 airport security practices as operating under the "aesthetics of transparency," which requires passengers to perform innocence and be open to inspection--those who cannot are deemed opaque and presumed to be a threat. Travelers are no longer innocent until proven guilty; they are guilty until proven transparent.
