Airport security screeners may soon try to read the minds of travelers to identify terrorists.
Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have told Northwest Airlines security specialists that the agency is developing brain-monitoring devices in cooperation with a commercial firm, which it did not identify.

And this is all implemented by third-worlders including Muslims wearing headdress.
And the baggage is still not scanned.
And Abdul the Muslim male - with his unambiguous desire to destroy America - is no more subject to this than myself, the prototypical American.
This is sheer insanity. I think I'll take the train. Whoops, that's going bankrupt too.
There is no telling what those thugs with jugs are planning.
This still smells like a hoax to me, but if so they are using or abusing the names of real people to do it.
But if they still refuse to profile terrorists, what good will it do to read their minds? As it is a terrorist can yell BOMB in an airport, and if he looks Middle Eastern, young, male -- they won't touch him! Just flew from LA to Houston this week and my son and I were picked out for a bag search. They told us when we checked in that "our names came up" to have a baggage search. He is red headed, I am blondish, both of us look Irish, and very much American. We are taking him to college tomorrow, in Texas and he has lived with us in LA all summer. He was carrying everything he owns, plus we were traveling with two cats, and my husband also had his computer. We were not amused with the thought of having all of our stuff taken out and searched through. For some reason they let us pass without the bag search. We were relieved. Traveling by air is such a pain now. It used to be such a pleasure, I HATE it now, and I was traveling First Class on Continental. We are all just cattle to the airlines now.
it's easier than that... you don't even need to build the telescope... you just need to tell the people that you have done so...
Yet another democrat plot exposed. Why do you think JFK got everbody to stop wearing hats?
Guess the rappers/wannabees know what they're doing.
They're a secret weapon, of course: whack a man with one of those, and he forgets whatever he was planning!
Thus saving the hassle of developing a "Ministry of Love" or "Ministry of Information Retrieval" and will save many taxpayer dollars that would have been wasted on imprisonment for suspected thought criminals.
Suspected Suicide Bomber Mysteriously Develops Amnesia At Airport

Search Intensifies to Discover the Identity of Suspected Ex-Terrorist
and
Mind Reading Technology Malfunctions at Local Airport. 258 Passengers Were Neuralized as the Boarded Flight 747.
Officials say the malfunction was caused by a power surge which reversed the electric flow in the new Airport Security MRI scan. The security scanner was designed to locate a particular electricical frequency in the Hypocampus of all passengers hoping to isolate potential hijackers. The Hypocampus is the region of the brain where memories are stored, and unfortunately the power sugre at the airport terminal accidentally erased the memories of 258.
"The passengers were all stunned. When they realized that they had boarded an airplane but had completely forgotten everything about themselves." The F.B.I were notified of the emergency and a security staff was arrived at Kennedy airport to assist the passengers as they searched through their luggage and personal possessions hoping to recover any memory of who they were and what was the nature of their business. "Luckily everybody has some form of I.D. with their name and a picture on it and most of the passengers recovered most of the essential information about themselves after the plane landed." says Airport Security Official. 27 people were voluntarily taken to a nearby hospital where regression hypnosis and psychotherapy are being used to help recover the lost memories.
I better not think about Clinton when I walk through a gate!
Maybe there's an idea from a sci-fi classic. Astute readers will know what I'm referring to.
(oh alright then... smash them machines!!! ;-)
Here's what is great about this: a terrorist might have a heart attack before he even reaches the gate, even when this technology is at a crude level.
You know full well that the laws could and will be written soon after.
