"It would pick passengers who are behaving oddly or in an unruly
manner," she said.
"They may appear nervous, or could be getting up while the plane is
taxiing. If
someone looks as if they are praying, the microphones would be able
to tell if they
were by picking up key words."

Gosh, no one (but a terrorist) is EVER jittery, airsick or scared
enough to pray while on an airplane, right?

This dumb system would immediately flag me as part of the Axis of Evil
every time I got on board.
