New technology spawns new problems (or at least excuses)

I have this vision of some of our students not being able to log in when the characteristic patterns of their ECG are disturbed by some attractive student walking by. Even if there weren't any problems I can just see this as the latest excuse for not handing in work on time. It also might create a whole new privacy issue.

Student: "Sir, I was late handing in because I was too excited by the results I got in the lab! My heart rate was way off the scale"

Lecturer from Hell: "I can see from the log you were excited, but our AI doubts the lab results caused that"
