“
Isn’t that a sign? Everyone on board has passed
through security, has been patted down by the rhetoric
of terror, of scrutiny, of surveillance, of suspicion.
The rhetoric of color, I mean literal color, the widest

of high alert. The rhetoric of scent, of bomb sniffing,
of plants, an eco-rhetoric, the rhetoric of the molecular
fingerprint. The rhetoric of brown.
