(2.3.2015) The United States Government is currently developing a system that can read minds—a situation that George Orwell envisioned when he wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four. The Future Attribute Screening Technology
(“FAST”), currently being tested by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), employs a variety of sensor suites to scan a person’s vital signs, and based on those readings, to determine whether the scanned person has “malintent”—the intent to commit a crime. (…)

Further, the system is capable of detecting an enormous amount of the scannee’s highly sensitive personal medical information, ranging from detection of arrhythmias and cardiovascular disease, to asthma and respiratory failures, physiological abnormalities, psychiatric conditions, or even
a woman’s stage in her ovulation cycle.
