Of course, these phenomenons are taking place all over the world, but for us the Swedish context is also pretty interesting: Sweden has been the role model of the western welfare state and fordism, the establishment of social peace by a consensus between workers and owners of production.

We can also read this image as "EUrope", where you could see in the back the border to the outside, where only wanted people are allowed to move in, you would have something like the free movement of goods and capital inside, also the seemingly free movement of the people: in fact it's not free movement in public space, but there is control all the time, certain "unwanted" subjects would be thrown out by the security, and the owners of the place define the rights of the people, who is wanted and who's not. Anytime one could be scanned in such a place, and one might turn into the unwanted category easily.
