Ooh, ooh! Pick me, pick me! I think it's a horrible idea too! I also suddenly feel 3 years old again! Yay! I'm going to go play my friend's Atari now!

Given how absolutely irrate one can get with one's fellow passengers while going through security, I don't think testing for"non-verbal cues that predict whether you mean harm to your fellow passengers" is going to be a helpful approach; it'll end up flagging everyone!
