"A prototype European system uses multiple cameras and "Big Brother" software to try and automatically detect terrorists or other dangers caused by passengers.
The European Union's Security of Aircraft in the Future European Environment (SAFEE) project uses a camera in every passenger's seat, with six wide-angle cameras to survey the aisles. Software then analyses the footage to detect developing terrorist activity or "air-rage" incidents, by tracking passengers' facial expressions.

Other behaviours could include a person nervously touching their face, or sweating excessively. One such behaviour won't trigger the system to alert the crew, only certain combinations of them."
Fantastic, now we will have every move monitored whilst flying. I assume that cameras in the toilets will also be required. It's odd how the law-abiding citizen just has to put up with infringements of their liberty but the convicted criminal suddenly gets the right to privacy. It's a crazy fucked-up world, isn't it?
