N2  - Based on field research at Václav Havel Airport Prague and building on Actor-Network Theory, the article inquires the role of visibility in production of the contemporary form of airport security. Visualization is understood as the acquisition of comprehensive information about a limited set of characteristics in sparse time. The article explores how the mode of vision opted for--the chosen set of characteristics--is found accountable for shaping the notions of threat and security. The article identifies the security and social consequences of particular mode of vision employment and inquires the limits of visibility.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
