+For instance, beggars and poor people had to wear a visible badge form the end of the $17^{th}$ century. At this time, people who committed crimes were tattooed with distinctive letters according to the crime they were guilty of.

|
|
|
|
|
+Throughout the nineteenth century, identification means evolved towards documents with physical description of the individual (at the time, photography was not widespread), seals, signatures,\dots.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
+Then, at the beginning of the twentieth century, passports started to include photographs and all sorts of information: height, date of birth, place of birth, address\dots

|
|
|
|
|
+ When traveling around the world, airports are a major frontier place. As most long-distance travel are made with planes, most people go through airports
|
|
|
|
|
+ when going in a foreign country. This makes airports a very sensitive place, as they are the gateway to a country. They must filter between desired traffic (tourists, workers,\dots) and undesired traffic (criminal, terrorists, illegal merchandise\dots).
|
|
|
|
|
+ Therefore, security is a huge matter when it comes airports. They are the most surveilled and secured places one can experience in the modern world.
|
|
|
|
|
+ The size of such a challenge is proportional to the tremendous flow of daily passengers.

|

|
|
+ Signalisations guides the flow of people perfectly to their destination even though they are not familiar with the building. Particularly, one does not have to be familiar with a specific airport, one just has to be
|

|
|
|
|
|
+ Finally, airports are the perfect place to describe the concept of hybrids.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Hybridisation is the phenomenon happening the a human being becomes inseparable from a material object.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ In the case of an airport, the human being and its passport, especially in the context of the airport are deeply interwoven.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Obviously, the passport has no mean being in an airport without the corresponding human being. But the symmetric situation is also true, the individual has no use
|
|
|
|
|
+ being in an airport without its passport. This little reasoning shows that the individual and the passport are inseparable from each other.
