This "madly hip" poster "Secure Beneath The Watchful Eyes"
which William Gibson, currently in Edinburgh on his book promotion tour, refers to in his blog posting of Sunday 26th August 2007 is not part of the current security theatre campaign by Transport for London, the Mayor of London and the Metropolitan Police Service.
I have a friend here in London, The Reverend Rat, a streetwise cyberpunk and technology hardware hacker and recycler, who has one of the original posters from a bus shelter, exactly as depicted above.
He would be loathe to part with it, but he is willing to investigate getting a colour photocopy made, if someone would be willing to reimburse the costs, and to throw in a copy of Spook Country. which he cannot, at the moment, afford to purchase.

(use of the PGP public encryption keyis optional) if you are interested in such a photocopy.
Just to show how the War On Tourism is progressing here in London, you may also be interested in this recent astonishing Metropolitan Police and Manchester Police "Climate of Fear" campaign posters, which seek to make everyone who carries a rucksack, or a mobile phone or a digital camera, or who visits obscure websites on the world wide web,i.e. the majority of people who are reading this posting, into terrorist suspects.
