I don't think that's what it does. I don't think it says that you're a terrorist because of the way you walk. I think what it does is identifies who you are based on the way you walk. For instance, if they're looking for a specific person, they could use this to find them. It won't say "this person is a terrorist."
This.

Also, how would the system search for its target? Without a fairly specific location in mind to find said terrorist, it'd be searching gait profiles for a long time. Even if it's as small as area as the City of San Diego, there are millions of people to sort through.

The other alternative would be to map all visible persons to have tabs on everyone all the time, but that's extremely creepy and would be difficult to maintain. If it couldn't penetrate buildings, people would disappear and reappear on the grid all the time.

If it COULD penetrate buildings, any operator would basically be seriously invading your privacy, as it could catch you in any location, including showers/etc.

What would be the procedure if you were spotted taking some controlled narcotic? While this is a minor crime, where is the line for punishment? There's a reason why the locator in your cell phone only activates when 911 is dialed, I couldn't see any way this would constitutional.
