May a cover story in the usually pro-technology Economist worried that "neuroscientists may soon be able to screen people’s brains to assess their mental health, to distribute that information, possibly accidentally, to employers or insurers, and to ‘fix’ faulty personality traits with drugs or implants on demand."

Total Information Project
Posted Jan 16, 2003
The study points to the Total Information Awareness pilot project, in which the Pentagon is exploring amassing a database of Americans' medical, health, financial, tax and other records. There are few privacy laws to prevent businesses from selling the government such information, Steinhardt said.
''If we do not act to reverse the current trend, data surveillance - like video surveillance - will allow corporations or the government to constantly monitor what individual Americans do every day,'' the report said.
Moreover, under the Patriot Act - the anti-terrorist legislation passed by Congress immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks - the government can demand that libraries turn over reading habits of patrons. Authorities can more easily attain telephone and computer wiretaps, and conduct searches in secret without immediately notifying the target.
