Are You Fit to Fly? Airport Security May Soon Use the Wii Fit to Decide...

So, basically the theory is that if you are up to no good on a plane, you will fidgit to an extent and they will be able to detect this nervousness when you step on a Wii balance board.

The only problem is, I have enough trouble getting good scores on the Wii balance board in the privacy of my own home where I am totally comfortable and no one is around...and I am pretty fit and flexible!

I am all for beefed up airport security, but hopefully their standards won't be too high...!

Anyone else a little nervous about passing the balance test at security checkpoints? How do you fare on the Wii Fit?

    I sure hope they don't do this, I have terrible balance. I can be wearing flat shoes, stone sober, and still fall over everything.

    That's just crazy! Some people are nervous fliers and would fail miserably simply because they're holding on by the proverbial thread. Secondly, some people just don't have good balance.
