"You have nothing to worry about, Joe."

Assistant Professor of Psychology Sarah Laszlo and Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Zhanpeng Jin, researchers at Binghamton University in New York, have developed a security system based in brain imaging called Brainprint. It utilizes an electroencephalogram (EEG) cap that reads brain responses to stimuli. Lazlo and Jin found that individuals have unique responses to various photographic images. Using a large set of these responses, they developed a unique "brainprint" that they believe is foolproof.
In their tests, Lazlo and Jin showed a rapid stream (2 per second) of images (celebrity photos, words, landmarks, etc.) to subjects wearing the EEG cap. Because of their backgrounds and experiences, most people react to the images differently. Someone who was bitten by a dog has different reactions to puppies than dog lovers. Using just 500 images, the software developed by the researchers was able to correctly identify one person out of 30 100% of the time.

So when will we have brain caps attached to our smart phones, doors and ATMs? Not anytime soon. The tests were based on a small group, the hacking test was limited and it will take a long time to have large numbers of people view the images and build the databases. Plus there’s the cap, which messes your hair up a lot more than fingerprint, iris or facial scanners. Lazlo and Jin see the system being used for checkpoints at high-security locations like the Pentagon, super-secret research centers, nuclear facilities and the like.
While you're waiting for your brainprint cap, go change your passwords.

Wouldn’t work. 47% of the country is brain-dead.
And what method will the Democrats use?
"You have nothing to worry about, Joe."
Sounds like this technology would work best with something implanted under the skin of the forehead.
#1 I LOVE Mysterious Universe.
#2 Are people so lazy that you cant just create a password to memorize? Write it down and tape it to the bottom of your keyboard if it’s that hard!
Spoiler alert:
Easily worked around and did not work out to well for them.
