Open Source Borders for "Bureaucracksy Bed Time Stories"

About
Borders have become some of the most heavily surveilled and controlled places on earth, and yet they are places that are themselves often resistant to counter surveillance or sousveillance. However, the lightly disguised government propaganda of "reality" police programs can, like all propaganda, sometimes offer a look into restricted areas.

In Open Source Borders for "Bureaucracksy Bed Time Stories", I invite you to watch clips from some of these programs and answer questions about them. This may be the first time that you've had an opportunity to look at parts of the border apparatus not as a participant being controlled as you move through it, but instead as an observer. What do you see?

Answers from these questionnaires will be used to create both a more structured tool for analyzing border videos (like this tool to analyze military propaganda and public relations videos), and for continuing meta-research into creating open source information processing workflows. Participation is anonymous but participants can sign up for updates (opt out at any time).
