Airport Insecurity

Airport Insecurity is a game/comment on current security efforts in our airports. Made to run on Java-enabled Nokia phones, the game's all about managing a line of people waiting to go through security (you can choose one of 138 airports for the simulation). Go too slow, and the people in line will start to get twitchy. The chances of sneaking in something "unallowed" (like a cigarette lighter) vary depending on the actual stats of the airport you chose. Say the makers, "To consider the game's implications fully, players are encouraged to play the game while waiting in line at airport security." Doesn't exactly sound as fun as Me and My Katamari, but we bet it's definitely a conversation-starter.
