come across this gait analysis business, for instance? Basically, software

Thats what the companies who sell the software keep saying. Personally
I have my doubts about how reliable it would be. If software still
isn't up to the task of doing decent object or handwriting or speech
recognition then what are the odds it can *reliably* spot a specific
person in a crowd by the way they walk? I'll believe it when I see it.
