I must respond to this article at the BBC site.

“But it will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you, because if they are, their heart rate will be raised. And 10 years from now, the technology will be much smarter. We’ll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they’re actually thinking.”

He glanced at me quizzically, noticing my apprehension.

“Yeah, I know,” he said. “It sounds very Star Trekkish, but that’s what’s ahead.”

That doesn’t sound “Star Trekkish.” Star Trek was rather utopian. Or did you think reality TV invented this term “Big Brother”?

I can’t wait ‘til the first time they shoot someone in a house for having a high heart rate, and find out he or she was masturbating, can you? Temptation to join ACLU...rising….
