>>5557055 Why You Should Be Worried About Machines Reading Your Emotions
Spacemen can read minds?
Letter to The Washington Times
Tuesday, August 20, 2002
I did not know whether to laugh or be in shock after reading "NASA plans to read minds at airports" (Page 1, Saturday). As a neuroscientist, I think this idea sounds incredibly far-fetched based on our current, at least published, scientific knowledge of measuring and interpreting brain activity and how it relates to human behavior.
However, the fact that this program exists should raise serious concerns about the long-term motives of those who wish to impose such Orwellian measures on the citizens of our open and free society. Though I should not have to elaborate on why such ideas clearly undermine the very principles on which our great country was founded, I will remind readers that sacrificing our hard-won liberties for so-called "security" only gives victory to the terrorists in their war against freedom. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, those who give away essential freedoms for temporary security will eventually lose both and deserve neither.
