The "See Something, Say Something" campaign, popularized by Janet Napolitano and the DHS, is traced back to the 1960 science fiction novel "Starship Troopers" and its subsequent film adaptations. A clip from "Starship Troopers 3" is played to illustrate how the government has adopted fictional dystopian propaganda as real-world policy.
