Brain Privacy
sleepyrobot writes "As neuroscience advances and brain scans become more sophisticated, the Boston Globe points out that some privacy advocates are concerned about brain privacy. Could employees be scanned for violent or depressive impulses? Could soldiers be screened for homosexuality? It sounds like a Philip K. Dick vision of the future, but some predict this will be a bigger ethical issue than genetics."
Heres YOUR brain scan!

You must be using some sort of notification system so that you can get very near the first post.
Who said text advertising is dead?
There is no reason to fear for your brain privacy, in fact there is no such thing as a brain scan! It is all lies! Even if there were those who could perform a brain scan, there aren't, but if their were, they have all commited suicide under the walls of Baghdad! We are not afraid of the brain scan, allah has condemned them, they are stupid. They are stupid..... and they are condemned. We welcome them with bullets and shoes!

You really don't believe that the narrow-minded are smart enough on their own to come up with this stuff, do ya?
Whenever the narrow-minded claim to come up with technology this good, it is bound to have a certain amount of "back of the comic book" technology involved.
Yes, they are.
Webcalc is worse than goatse!
I heard in some African country (South Africa, i think) that someone can take you to court if, say they're fat and when you talked to them you had some kind of twitch or some visual clue that you didn't like them.
It's so easy to be a little smart ass on the Net, isn't it? Picked off first, i'd say. Can you back that snide crap up in person? If not, then you should feel like a little sh*t for saying it on the 'Net. But hey, if you happen to be a 4th degree, fire away.
