"According to the new, old security rationale, although everybody is potentially dangerous until proven otherwise, some categories of bodies and persons carry almost by definition more risks than others. Even in their most vulnerable state, they fundamentally endanger our lives. As such they must be the object of renewed profiling classification, and isolation or even eliminated in line with a long history in modernity that ties together the targeting, quarantining, restriction and even extermination of populations that have been marked as abnormal or have been profoundly dishonored".
