This actually makes sense to me. Just yesterday I was walking down the street and thought I spotted a friend of mine ahead of me. The person was the right height, weight, and dressed like my friend would be, but as soon as I saw them take two steps I knew that they weren’t the person I thought they were. I had actually read an article on this system several days ago, and it had struck me as silly, but after my experience I think my attitude has changed. The way a person carries themself is remarkably distinct.

That’s not to say that I endorse any sort of TIA or Poindexter program…I just think there are merits to a system that could determine identity via gait.
