   @fugueish @dymaxion Is there a phrase for the opposite of 'security by obscurity' --not 'security by design', but by making things public and obvious? Like, my car (and anything left inside it) is much safer on a busy street than a quiet parking garage. [So am _I_, for that matter.]

     @PaulGrahamRaven @fugueish @dymaxion I’ve actually called a related idea ‘soeurveillance’ (from ‘sister’)—not that we are looking from above or below, but we are looking *around* at each other. [Like when I eg get in a subway carriage and take glance at other passengers to clock if there is someone who might be *specifically* vulnerable eg genderqueer, in a hijab etc.]

     Hints of "sousveillance" in your description, here, though I'm sure you've thought of that one and discarded it already

     pettter repeated this.
