新华网9月4日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道，“棱镜门”事件爆发后美国人对隐私问题的关注格外强烈，近日美国一家博物馆的礼品店就转为专门出售保护隐私的各种产品。
从能迷惑机器人的印刷字体到（据说）能检测到家附近的无人机的系统，各种声称能保护个人隐私免受“大哥”监视的产品大行其道。甚至一家艺术博物馆也不甘落后——“新博物馆”的礼品店就改成了“隐私礼物店”。
这个礼品店摆满了Johanna Bloomfield和Adam Harvey设计的产品，后者最出名的产品是名为“秘密帽衫”的产品，能使穿着者不能被热成像无人机捕捉到。在“新博物馆”里，你可以购买各种Harvey的反无人机服装，这些衣服都是使用金属纤维制作的，可以干扰热成像相机（军用飞机经常使用的那种相机）。
Harvey说，他这个工程的想法来自于今年初一次与情报人员不愉快的争论，那名情报人员要求获得授权，把他的艺术品作为保密报告的一部分提交上去。“我按要求做了，但被这种奇怪的要求搞得很泄气”，Harvey在一份声明中说。“我是嫌疑人么？或者是启发了他们什么？我一头雾水，想象着把我的产品做到大家都能得到，并且不神秘”。这一想法的结果就是一系列的服装和配件，每种都提供不同的方法来避免监控。
比如，你可以买一个“反无人机头巾”，或者“手机信号屏蔽包”来屏蔽所有无线信号。Harvey的“金属美元”是很薄的铜制钱包，防止信用卡信息被无线射频识别设备偷走。他还有一款可爱的产品（也就是比较没用的产品）：写着“我爱纽约”的T恤，上面的文字是使用能防止OCR识别的字体印制的，而NSA和其他情报机构可以使用设备扫描识别手写便签。
是的，所有这些都非常概念化，唯一不同的地方是你确实能购买这些产品。虽然这些产品并不能可靠地提供隐私防护功能，但至少证明，即便你不在乎“棱镜”计划（或其他监控计划），仍然有很多人在乎，并且使得反监控产品的市场迅速扩大。

A Gift Shop Devoted Entirely to Privacy-Protecting Stealth Gear
From typefaces that confuse robots to systems that can (allegedly) detect drones near your home, products that claim to protect you from the prying eyes of Big Brother are all the rage right now. Even art museums are getting in on the action—like the New Museum, which just opened its own Privacy Gift Shop.
The shop is populated with objects designed by Johanna Bloomfield and Adam Harvey, the artist known for selling a Stealth Hoodie which claims to block the wearer from the view of heat-seeking drones. At the New Museum, you can buy all sorts of Harvey's drone-proof clothing, which is made with a metallic fabric that blocks thermal cameras (the type of which are often used by military UAVs).
According to Harvey, the whole project was inspired by an unsettling run-in with an intelligence agency, which contacted him earlier this year to request permission to publish some of his artwork as part of a classified report. "I obliged, but was frustrated by the odd request," Harvey says in a statement. "Was I a suspect or an inspiration? Beguiled, I imagined a way to make my work as accessible and unclassifiable as possible." The result was a line of clothing and accessories, each offering its own particular method of avoiding surveillance.
For example, you can pick up an Anti-Drone Scarf, or an OFF Pocket phone case that blocks all wireless signals. Or Harvey's Metal Dollar Bill—a small copper wallet insert that shields credit cards from being RFID skimmed by identity thieves. Finally, there's a neat (albeit fairly useless) t-shirt that read "I Love NY," written in a typeface designed to evade Optical Character Recognition—the process by which the NSA and other agencies scan handwritten notes.
And yes: These are all very conceptual, despite the fact that you can buy them. But while they might not provide tangible privacy protection, they do provide proof that while you might not give a shit about PRISM (or any other surveillance program), there's a booming market for those who do.
The OFF Pocket phone case, $100.
The Metal Dollar Bill, $25.
An "I Heart NY" shirt, written in OCR-blocking font, $40.
The Stealth Scarf, $450.
