I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "You can't make stuff like this up, but the EU is actually testing a prototype system of cameras in airplanes to monitor the expression on passengers' faces 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. With great thinkers like these, they'll probably start marketing 'free rectal exams with every flight' as a perk soon."
