Persuasive Games' latest title is out for cell phones. In Airport Insecurity you must work your way through the TSA checkpoints of the country's 138 major airports. The cool thing is that the rules for the game were culled from the actual security practices used at the airports. The game is mostly about line-standing, making sure you don't needlessly touch the person in front or behind you and dumping the pointy things from your pockets before you get to the screeners.

More importantly, the game was created to highlight the issue of balancing civil rights with personal and national security.
It's refreshing to see a game coming out that isn't about sequels or making money, but instead about raising awareness.

Pick it up, if you've got a Nokia, at the site.
