By now we are so used to seeing the signs that it doesn't register anymore, but it's still worth pointing out that every time you see a sign saying that what is being implemented is 'for your safety' the exact opposite is true.
Orwell tried to warn us that they are willing to use doublespeak and are also willing to make 'disappear' the very words in our language, so that critical thinking becomes not only dangerous, but high-on impossible.
'For your safety' actually means 'in order to keep a track on you and to keep us (the Owners) safe from you'.
Quite logical really. Why wouldn't they herd us into a field without an exit?
