SECURITY T shirt

The large bold, un-designed type on the back [NOT A TERRORIST] represents formality, an official position. the word terrorist has recently become the way we define the contemporary devil, war on terror & the labeling of one as a terrorist has transformed the way we perceive an individual. the film "If a tree falls" is a good example of what this label can do. Guantanamo is another.

In Jerusalem, as a kid i would wear a keffiyeh, most of my friends and peers wore these, some had the basic black ones, others the red. This cheap garment, used by many Israelis as a scarf in the seventies has been completely removed from our wardrobe and is now used globally only as a symbol.

A small, hand drawn ski mask [Balaclava] on the front of the shirt deals was what has become the fashion symbol of a terrorist, the shape originated at the Crimean war back in 1853 when knitted balaclavas were sent over to the British troops to help protect them from the cold weather.
