When Foucault spoke about the technologies of discipline, he meant systems that were everyday and ubiquitous but maintained a process of classification and regulation of life. The best example of this model is the modern airport. It is a place where there are no public spaces and people accept the presence of surveillance and inequality among groups. It allows the internalization of discipline into the individual mentality of the subject as it is produced through specific methods of regulation.
