    Would they be blinded to my thoughts if I wear a tin foiled hat or use a Faraday cage?

    Meh, doesn't effect me. I don't intend on blowing stuff up or causing harm.

    cfmonkey45... I must shake my head in grave disappointment to your naivety.

    I think I've seen this thing before. It's interesting, at least. For science and law, it's a step forward, but a mile back for individual rights.

    At least the title is missleading. It's not mind reading per se.

    I don't see much of a problem with this. Unless they start bringing out thought-crimes, I feel we're pretty safe.

    It kind of reminds me of those creepy orientation videos from LOST.

    Seems incredibly fallible, abusable, and unpredictable. Not safe, should never be used.

    To see a world in a grain of sand,
    And a heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
    And eternity in an hour.

    I think if this thing really works, it's quite a helpful technology.

    Way to take things out of proportion...

    This is no different than a body language expert. It does not read minds.

    The Department of Homeland Security is worried for our welfare and security. We can trust them with our children.

    My mom works for Homeland Security, so I know the people that work there. All you got to do is run at a brisk pace and probably half would die of heart attacks...

    Yay for the Department of Homeland Security! I feel really safe that the government is arresting 10th Graders for making prank bomb threats, and will now screen everyone anywhere!



    Ya gotta wonder why we need MORE of a beaurocracy in this country. You would have figured that the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA could handle terrorist---...oh wait they can't do crap...(9/11)

    Whatever...

    You have the source for that?

    I actually liked the first half of that video.

    We don't make screening technologies. We make the trucks you test the screening technologies in.

    Can we has government funding nao?

    I shudder to think how much taxpayer money was shelled out for a single wide trailer with Wi-Fi....
