The only thing that's ethically questionable are humans themselves and such a device would likely do more to expose the unethical.

Everybody remembers what happen when online dna hit mainstream.

Yeah, that's just what we need: brain scanners purported to "expose the unethical". Nothing could go wrong with that.

I find it extremely silly when people argue a technology is value neutral and humans are the problem so we shouldn't "judge" or critique the tech. Who do they think is going to use the technology?

I think only good thoughts so I'm not worried. Plus anyone with control of this technology is sure to have our best interests in mind.
Exactly.

Think good, happy thoughts. Happiness is mandatory. Being unhappy is treason. Treason is punishable by death.

Have a happy daycycle, citizen!
