The aim of this study is to present the findings of an analysis of expert security blogs that was carried out between 1 January 2010 and 30 April 2013. The main research questions here are: 1. What is the overall salience of selected topics among security bloggers? 2. How do expert blogs frame the implications of security and security technologies within our three SECONOMICS topics – Stuxnet, CCTV cameras, and 3D body scanners?

As a global source of information, expert blog articles were naturally assumed to reflect the latest developments in international security-related affairs connected to the particular topics of our study, such as airliner terrorism, cyber-attacks, criminality, and the surveillance of public areas.
