The many-eyed monstroisity that sees everyone and is seen by no one keeps growing under the fig leaf of "safety" and "security", fed by people's fear and anxiety.

I don’t think this purely a fear campaign.

Billions are spent on border protection every year for a very broad range of reasons - even before the past 20 years of ‘terrorism bad’. Narcotics, dangerous and malicious persons, people smuggling, customs and international cooperation are legitimate concerns that nations genuinely care are about.
