Gosh, I HEART science

From the genius logic that gave us the atomic bomb:

That's because it's impossible to test people without their consent, he said. Subjects have to cooperate so fully _ holding the head still, and reading and responding to the questions, for example _ that they have to agree to the scan.

"It really doesn't read your mind if you don't want your mind to be read," he said. "If I were wrongly accused and this were available, I'd want my defense lawyer to help me get this."

So maybe the technology is better termed a "truth confirmer" than lie detector, he said.

..."My hope," George said, "would be that it might make the world operate a little bit more openly and honestly."

Which is what Torquemada was after too.

So, therefore, if you have nothing to hide why would you object to having your brain scanned to see if you're telling the truth, eh?
