#16  Do you really want to see what's rolling around a liberal's mind (or worse yet.. a moonbat's...).

#15  In a Homeland Security video showing the system in action, targeted subjects are asked questions such as "are you attempting to smuggle an explosive device"...

Oh, yeah. I can see how this will go:

TSA: Are you attempting to smuggle an explosive device?

Passenger brain: Oh my god terrorists there could be terrorists on my plane I was trying to forget about that why did you bastards have to remind me die kill death pain Mommy!

Adrenal glands: Red Alert! All hands to stations!

Sensors: Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

TSA: Step this way, please. Jose, full body cavity search for this one.

#10  New airport screening 'could read minds'

Quick, get the Japanese to miniaturize it and make it portable. I can see selling about 50 million units to guys who've spent their lives just trying to 'read minds'. This is going to beat the CERN accelerator in discovering the greatest mystery that men have faced since creation. :)

Redundant.

#8  Bigjim-ky, you are wrong. That's about 80% of the people walking through airport security. The other 20% are comatose.

#6  Basically the same thing Anonymoose just said.

#5  Question.
Wouldn't people with those symptoms also be, sick, tired, horny, pissed off, stressed out, having a bad day, ect?
That's going to be a bout 1/3 of everyone walking through an airport security screening station.

#4  "According to our readout, that guy is either sexually aroused, late for his flight, a terrorist, a football player or fan thinking about a game, losing money on the stock market, has recently had too much coffee, or may be psychically controlling us to make us think he is thinking those things. We had better search him."

#2  Downside...TSA would have to send the results outside the agency for analysis.

#1  No it can't. Say, I have a stuffed head and ringing in the ears from antibiotics. I am not sure what I am thinking in that state. A machine couldn't know what I don't.
