Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do

An anonymous reader writes "New security check points in 2020 will look just like something out of the futuristic movie, The Minority Report. The idea of the new checkpoints will allow high traffic to pass through just as you were walking at a normal pace. No more waving a wand to get through checkpoints — the new checkpoint can detect if you have plans to set off a bomb before you even enter the building."

finally!

You can always count on some other slashdotter trying to trick the system and settings off alarms.

Since I have to be at the airport 2 hours before take off, at least I'll now something to do.

No gait analysis?

And here I was thinking we finally had a reason to properly fund the Ministry of Silly Walks.

When I was flying back home after visiting a client, I ran towards the men's room at the Cleveland airport and set off an explosion.

Diamonds and shoes.

The rest is of lesser importance.

wouldn't that be you dropped a bomb in the men's room at the cleveland airport?

Re:right...

[Rob the Bold]

I have a better idea. Let's give up our "empire", withdraw from the World and adopt the Swiss stance of armed neutrality. Back it up with our nuclear deterrent.

Right after we figure out how not to depend on any imports, sure.

I was thinking the same thing for the longest time. But I visited Switzerland recently, and I was surprised to find that despite their neutrality and non-belligerent foreign policy, they were still able buy and sell goods and services from and to other nations. So despite conventional wisdom, it may be possible for the US, too.

No, we'll only know what they think they want.

Yes. Like why do women fake orgasms? Because they like to think men care.

I'll give you a hint:
we like huge diamonds cut into the shape of shoes! But we tend to settle for chocolate.

Apparently, if you wanted to bomb a bus there is no one to stop you. If you want to poison a water supply there is no one to stop you. If you wanted to sabotage an underwater cable there is no one to stop you. If you wanted to car bomb a public building there is no one to stop you.

Ah, sir? Would you mind stepping over here for a minute?

We have a few questions we'd like to ask you.

99 percent of any and all past and present attacks against airline travel perpetrated - through passengers or baggage! - were committed by people who a) claimed they were doing it for Islam and b) who have declared as being of Muslim faith.

All "airline terrorists" - against which airport security can provide any protection - are a proper subset of "People is Muslim faith".

Take this thread to Cuba!

Gadget security, no matter how good the gadget, is ever going to provide security.

There will be no one left to tell. Fundies decay to ashes when rays of gayness fall upon them. Didn't ya know?

Re:Bullshit

[Blublu]

I want "bacon and a kiss airlines", where you eat a strip of bacon and give someone of the same sex as you a kiss. This proves you're not a muslim, and you can get on the airplane without any additional security theatrics.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHA you actually think its men that are making you compete for attention? Try looking at your own gender, you silly women are all the same, claiming men make them dress up and watch their appearance and are judging them. Men enjoy women almost no matter what they are wearing or look like. Its women who are the catty, judgmental mental-cases who eviscerate each other with their in-gender-competitiveness. Oh and BTW if you want to be left alone, move to the woods, dont cry about men looking at you when you live in a society of 6 billion individuals.

Keep in mind that you can be replaced with a turkey baster and a carton of Hagen-Daaz.

That would be FAIR trials were deemed un-necessary in 2001. 2025 the officers will be upgraded to judges and will have flying motorcycles and it will revolutionize justice by allowing the Officers to be judge, jury and executioner.

And all the people you mentioned either tend brown, yellow or liberal, so where's the problem, right?
