Program to read faces at the airport???
People are questioning the program the government is introducing to read faces at the airport. They say if they watch faces, and find those that are angry or suspicious they are going to send them for a more thorough search.

How's that gonna work? With the service, overbooked flights, lost luggage, waits and canceled flights, how are they going to tell the terrorist from disgruntled flyer's.

Seems kind of fruitless to me. Just another hair brained scheme that is going no where. But then who ever said stuff this administration does makes sense.

1. I don't know - it might be possible
Other than thinking it might not work, what other objections could there be to this program?

2. It is a budget issue
The DHS is being given money like it was going out of style. If they do not come up with ways to spend it, now matter how stupid, harebrained, pointless or intrusive, their budget will get cut.

3. What they should do is pick up the people who are not stressed at airports
Being relaxed at airports would be more suspicious these days.

4. Will they be able to distinguish between angry and constipated?
If they can't, they better stop meal service on ALL flights.
