Ae Cha K., Seoul: "American and Israeli defense contractors have now developed effective mind-scanning machines. It works like this. First they show a picture, for example of a radical Islamic cleric. Brain scanners can determine whether a person recognizes the image or not. If he does, he is a suspect. The same could be done with potential sexual offenders. Show them a series of pictures of sexual perversions. Then the brain scanner can detect whether a person is sexually attracted or not. If yes, they can be put into life-long preventive detention. By the way, the Victorian British police used a pre-runner of the modern systems. They would show suspected homosexuals pictures of naked men, and when the suspects showed an erection, they could be locked up in detention camps."
