This would be a system for making personalized seat cushions. It would consist of a "nail board" where each nail would depress according to how much weight was put on it and record the amount, and a 3D printer that would print out foam negatives of the backside of the person who sat on the nail board.

I generally try to avoid sitting on nail boards.

Lovely impracticality.

On your way through security you get your ass scanned, and your seat is waiting for you at the plane.

If by "nail board" you mean an assembly of businesswomen with long, painted fingernails, I'm all for it.
