In security studies and beyond, technological developments are associated with technocratic, rationalistic, transparent forms of security governed from a distance. In much of the advertising of tracking devices the associations made are very different not to say opposed to this. The advertising composes security anchored in sensemaking and resonance rather than calculus and reason, working from within and below rather than from a above at distance and depending on the negotiation of opaque co-presences rather than the establishment of precision and transparency. The consequence is that advertising not only extends but also deepens the grip of military/security matters: making them sticky. Moreover, the heterogeneity of the elements is such that what is composed is a shifting collage rather than a stable composition. This argument makes a threefold contribution to security studies: a theoretical reconceptualisation of what it means to compose security, an empirical intervention in the debates surrounding the politics of tracking devices and a methodological intervention in favour of collaborationist research strategies.

粘性安全：跟踪设备广告的拼贴画

在安全研究及其他领域，技术发展与远程管理的技术官僚、理性主义、透明的安全形式相关联。在跟踪设备的大部分广告中，所做出的联想都非常不同，更不用说反对这一点。广告构成了基于意义建构和共鸣而不是微积分和理性的安全性，从内部和下方而不是从远处的上方工作，并且依赖于不透明的共同存在的协商而不是建立精确和透明。结果是，广告不仅扩大而且加深了对军事/安全事务的控制：使它们具有粘性。此外，元素的异质性使得组成的是一个不断变化的拼贴画，而不是一个稳定的构图。
