Security cameras which PREDICT a terror attack by monitoring body heat and 'jerky' body movements are set to be rolled out across French railways - *Software that monitors suspicious behaviour and luggage tested in France* - *Authorities want to tighten security after Paris attacks left 130 people dead* - *New technology tracks changes in body temperature and signs of anxiety* - *Hoped that software's tracking will help spot and predict terror attacks * Published: 10:05 EST, 17 December 2015 Security cameras which can predict terror attacks by monitoring suspicious behaviour and luggage could eventually be integrated into 40,000 surveillance cameras across France. France's state-owned railway SNCF confirmed the news as the country tightens security after last month's deadly attacks in Paris left 130 people dead. The new software tracks changes in body temperature, raised voices and jerky body movements that can indicate heightened levels of anxiety and could be a sign of an impending terror attack. Security cameras which predict terror attacks by monitoring suspicious behaviour and luggage could eventually be integrated into 40,000 surveillance cameras across France following the attacks in Paris The new software tracks changes in body temperature, raised voices and jerky body movements that can indicate heightened levels of anxiety and could be a sign of an impending terror attack The rail firm's general secretary Stephane Volant said that the testing of the software was designed to improve the security situation in France, particularly its transport network. 'We are testing to work out what flags up people with a negative intention, an aggressor, or a groper,' he said. He also added that the test was also being carried out to ascertain what is the level of 'social acceptability' of such software. Cameras that detect packages left unattended for too long were also under evaluation, Volant said, adding the experiments had the full backing of the law. 130 people were killed and dozens were injured following the horrific terror attacks in Paris on 13 November The rail firm's general secretary Stephane Volant said that the testing of the software was designed to improve the security situation in France, particularly its transport network A law is also under consideration in France to give SNCF security agents powers to perform security pat-downs and search passengers' luggage Three bombers targeted sites in and around the Stade de France, where the French President was watching France's national team play Germany Another strand of SNCF's strategy was the possibility of equipping its staff with wearable cameras to identify fare dodging or suspect behaviour, and in the spring it will launch an app that allows passengers to raise an alert from their smartphones. A law is also under consideration in France to give SNCF security agents powers to perform security pat-downs and search passengers' luggage. France will install security gates at stations in Paris and Lille for the Thalys cross-Europe rail services by December 20 in one of a raft of measures introduced after the Paris attacks. A Thalys train from Amsterdam to Paris was attacked by a heavily armed man in August, but he was overpowered by passengers.

He was killed in the ensuing gunfight with police The high-speed Thalys service links Paris with Lille in northern France, the Belgian capital, Brussels, Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the western German city of Cologne. Passengers boarding those trains do not currently have to pass through security checks, unlike for the cross-Channel Eurostar train services to Britain, which have airport-style security. European railway operators worry about the cost and delays of tighter security. Currently, there are no checks on passengers except ticket controls. Eventually France wants to go back to a system whereby only people who have a ticket can board trains, minister Segolene Royal said. French railway operator SNCF plans to increase the number of random ticket controls in other French trains and railway stations, and SNCF is also considering putting passengers' names on all international train tickets, she said.
