    This research uses a direct computer interface to the brain, a BCI.

    Due to the invasiveness of the procedure, I don’t imagine the current administration would find much use for it. Their strongarm and propaganda methods are working well enough for their evil plans.

      Or: “All Liberals must undergo an American Loyalty Test. Your thoughts will be observed and if any anti-american sentiment is discovered you will be deported!”

      If it’s used against an “enemy” group the invasiveness (potential pain) would be viewed as a benefit to them.

      Not that I think this could be reasonably carried out in a country of 400 million people, but I wouldn’t for one second doubt their willingness to try eventually.

        In a world where they can force half the country to get implants, I don’t think they need to worry about justifying their actions. They’d just deport the people straight away or put them in death camps.
