Prototype EU Airplane Spy Cams Watch For Facecrime 359
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "You can't make stuff like this up. The EU is actually testing a prototype system of cameras in airplanes to monitor passengers' facial expressions in order to detect both terrorism and 'air rage.' The Security of Aircraft in the Future European Environment (SAFEE) project used an Airbus A380 fuselage with six wide-angle cameras to watch for people running or loitering near the cockpit door, as well as a camera in the back of every seat to watch for facecrime like sweating too much, or acting nervous. But that's okay, because the system won't alert anyone until it sees a 'combination of signs,' instead of just one stray expression, or they might accidentally catch a lot of people who are afraid of flying or of being watched."

I'm thinking of something like that Improv group in New York City and their shenanigans.

...and move all air travel over to the Mr T model: dope the passengers senseless at the airport, pack the unconscious bodies in like sides of meat and wake 'em up at the destination airport.
Oh, wait - you wouldn't be able to sell them duty free & Skymall would go out of business. Darn.

This happens to you on a regular basis?

I even have some time logged behind the stick of a DASH-8 that my dad snuck me in to ferry between Newport News and Norfolk airports one time when I was 13 (only crew members on board, no "passengers").
Its not that I don't like flying. However, I **HATE** to fly commercially. The seats are uncomfortable, the air is stale, babies scream, people cough and sneeze, etc.
I always look pissed off on airlines and in airports, because I usually am. Of course, most of the flights I've taken in the past were as a non-rev and the crew knew my dad, so I was nice to them and they were nice to me, too.
Frankly, I think the people who **DON'T** look like they're about to kill someone are the ones you need to watch out for. There is probably something wrong with them as they clearly enjoy pain and discomfort.

"Hey, that guy is sweating like a pig. He may be about to leap up and attack!"

Silly nervous kids! If they blew themselves up for the glory of Allah, he would guarantee them 72 cute virgin girls all to themselves for eternity in paradise.
Talking of which, every time Mustafa blows himself up, 72 innocent virgins die, by definition.

And people with a fear of flying wouldn't ever be nervous or agitated.
Wow, those long wait on the runway are going to get interesting. Will Wesley Snipes' stunt double cut his way in through the roof to take out the guy in 27B/B? I say "on the runway" because presumably that's the only useful time to identify and confront Mr Twitchy, unless the intention is to sound a little chime and ask the passengers to form a lynch mob in flight.

See, I have a theory -- they must be actual virgins in every respect. I imagine the sexual encounters resemble something like this:
"Your gonna do WHAT? Your gonna put that thing WHERE?"
"Ouch! Ow! That hurts! Stop that! Ow!"
"Your done already?"
See, they think it's paradise but it's actually hell ;)
