Fidgeting on flights could get you tagged as a potential terrorist

I do n’t even know where to begin with this . Qinetiq , a British defending team inquiry science laboratory is working on “ intelligent ” airline prat that could alert the cabin crew to passengers acting in a nervous or nervous manner who could turn out to be terrorists . The seats have pressure sensors that connect to a key computer and can mechanically judge whether rider are sleep or conduct unusually :

[ I]f the fanny reveals the rider may be in a state of high anxiousness , the showing can discreetly alert the cabin bunch . They can then assess whether the passenger presents a risk : are they merely panic-stricken of flying ? An line - rager in the devising ? Or a hijacker about to make their move ?

The idea that you could enamor terrorist this fashion is simply cockeyed , but the article does show out some actual , feasible uses for this engineering science , like light that mechanically dim when a passenger fall asleep .
