The system designed to detect certain operating systems is VERY simple compared to what we're speaking about here.

It is possible to do so, but would only complicate the hideously complicated and outdated code behind it. For now you can keep wearing your tin foil hats and such, but the fact you keep search the same route/date/ticket/etc many times could be logged anyway as demand (Law of supply and demand is then placed into effect here).
