This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but an alleged anonymous TSA
screener started a blog. I think that some of the details, such as the
fact that they allegedly have acronyms for bogus bag checks designed to
inconvenience passengers who are "difficult" speaks volumes.

I realize this is an improbable request (I think), but is anyone aware of
any Surveillance Studies research on the organisations conducting *
covert/secret* mass-surveillance (a "securitocracy")
many thanks any pointers
I am not particularly familiar with this literature, but I know of a few
pointers.
This seminar in Brazil brought together researchers studying
surveillance and social control. They had three panels of interest
('Internet and Surveillance', 'New Technologies of Surveillance', and
'Institutional Surveillance'):

These two references are central in the debate (so Caspar must be super
familiar with them):
- Foucault, Michel. "Discipline and Punish" (redefining the debate on
the nature of power and the nature of state power):
http://www.foucault.info/documents/disciplineandpunish/foucault.disciplineandpunish.panopticism.html
- Deleuze, Gilles. "Society of Control" (updating Foucault's treatment
of surveillance to the contemporary 'society of control'):

best!
