If I were a prison warden, I would put all my inmates in this stuff. Gesture detecting clothing could tell me when inmates are doing naughty things they shouldn't, like fighting, taking drugs, fashioning a shiv and shoving things up their rectum. This kind of thing serves an Orwellian system very nicely. A private school headmaster's wet dream.

It could help rescue operations for things like earthquakes, letting them know who is trapped where and whether they're moving or not. Stick a GPS beacon into them and it's a great accessory for backwoods snowboarders or mountain climbers in case they get lost.
