Indian researcher in US makes software to boost airport security

Londin: An Indian origin researcher in the US has designed a new software, based on a game theory that could prove to be a valuable tool for law enforcement officials manning security check points at international airports.
Guards are usually told to patrol in a random fashion, but being human, they tend to form habits that patient criminals are able to exploit easily. To help make their rounds less predictable, Praveen Paruchuri and his colleagues at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles have created software that simulates various random paths that a guard could take airports and how criminals might react.
Presently the software is being tested at the Los Angeles International airport (LAX), reports New Scientist magazine.
