战争正在进行，我们都将成为炸弹。让我重复一遍。战争正在进行，无论你喜欢与否（在进入美国本土后），你都将成为一颗炸弹。在美国新的恐怖战争中，战争机器的一个特定形式已经转向了自己的公民。公民和非公民现在都被视为永远存在的威胁。从这个意义上说，一切都被想象成战斗人员，所有的地形都是战斗的场所。机动性，穿越地形，在不同的方面是武器的主要形式。从背景上看，承认全球人口日益移动的已经成为一种陈词滥调。然而，这种流动性的爆炸性可能性，以及它如何改变被统治和治理的关系，还没有得到足够的理论关注。Gillian Fuller（2003）强调，“我们可能会移动更多，并通过越来越复杂的景观，但我们在这些运动中也更加精简和程序化”。当这种运动越来越多地被处理和处理，好像它可能是一个炸弹，移动的科目是敌人，在国家的关系，他们。本文探讨了以前的治理形式，或程序化，流动性和合法化的逻辑这样做，以及如何通过实施国土安全从根本上改变后9/11。无论是在边境口岸、机场航站楼、路边警察审讯、港口，还是在政府大楼的安全检查，通常被称为“行动自由”的地方已经成为“国土安全”面临风险的地方。富勒指出的点是我们被检查的阈值。关于谁有这样的自由穿越，如何，何时，何地，以什么速度穿越的概念都改变了。正如国土安全部网站（dhs.gov 2002）所述，“现代恐怖主义日益增加的流动性和破坏潜力要求美国从根本上重新思考和重新安排其边境和运输安全系统”。然而，机动性也被想象为确保国土安全的生产力，因为许多计划都要求自动移动公民
The war is on and we are all becoming bombs. Let me repeat. The war is on and whether you like it or not (upon entering the US Homeland), you are becoming a bomb. In the US’s new war of terror a specific formation of the war machine has been turned upon its own citizenry. Citizens and non-citizens alike are now treated as an always present threat. In this sense all are imagined as combatants and all-terrain the site of battle. Mobility, the crossing of terrain, is in differing ways a prime form of weaponry. Contextually, it has become something of a cliché to recognize the increasingly mobile global population. Yet, the explosive possibilities of such mobility and how this alters the relation of governed and governance are something which has yet to receive ample theoretical attention. Gillian Fuller (2003) stresses that ‘We might move more, and through increasingly complex landscapes, but we are also more streamlined and proceduralised in these movements’. When such movement is increasingly processed and treated as if it might be a bomb, mobile subjects are made enemies in terms of the state’s relationship to them. This essay examines previous forms of governing, or proceduralising, mobility and the legitimating logic for doing so, and how these have been radically altered post 9/11 via implementations of Homeland Security. Whether at border crossings, airport terminals, roadside police interrogations, ports, or security checks at government buildings, what is often referred to as ‘freedom of movement’ has become one site where the ‘Homeland’s’ security is seen to be at risk. Points that Fuller notes are thresholds where we are checked. Conceptions of whom has such freedom to cross, how, when, where, and with what velocity, has all changed. As the Department of Homeland Security’s website (dhs.gov 2002) states, ‘The increasing mobility and destructive potential of modern terrorism has required the United States to rethink and rearrange fundamentally its systems for border and transportation security’. Yet, mobility is also imagined as a productive force for ensuring homeland security as a number of programs call upon the auto-mobile citizen
