Orwellian Thought Police to be Installed at Airports'Supporters of mind-reading technology argue that it would reduce waiting lines at security checkpoints and reduce the hassle for travelers. But the risks to personal privacy inherent in mind-reading technologies are self-evident. AP reports:
Some critics have expressed horror at the approach, calling it Orwellian and akin to "brain fingerprinting."
For civil libertarians, attempting to read a person's thoughts comes uncomfortably close to the future world depicted in the movie "Minority Report," where a policeman played by Tom Cruise targets people for "pre-crimes," or merely thinking about breaking the law.'

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--for ever."
--from Nineteen Eighty-Four
crimethink - To even consider any thought not in line with the principles of Ingsoc. Doubting any of the principles of Ingsoc. All crimes begin with a thought. So, if you control thought, you can control crime. "Thoughtcrime is death. Thoughtcrime does not entail death, Thoughtcrime is death.... The essential crime that contains all others in itself."
Commentary
Is this the kind of world you want to live in? Is this a 'healthy' world? Orwellian mind-reading scanners can easily generate anxiety and paranoia in most [completely innocent] people -- but that's the point...isn't it? Train the target population to live in constant FEAR. Fear that they may be guilty of a thought crime or a subconscious, emotional reaction against Big Brother.
Implementation of intrusive government, sponsored, thought monitoring is absolute confirmation that we are living in a classic, dystopian, Orwellian society. In this type of Big Brother control grid, people are trained to automatically self censor their own thoughts.
The goal from the controllers point of view is to eliminate any cogent critique of the establishment - internally- at the level of the individual mind. Indirectly, this method of thought control 'trains' the individual to automatically and without outside provocation -- police their own mind. Ultimate goal: The police state is now internalized.

crimestop - Orwell's definition: "The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. In short....protective stupidity."
Quotes From Orwell's 1984
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
--George Orwell
"We are not content with negative obedience, nor even with the most abject submission. When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us; so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him. It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world, however secret and powerless it may be. Even in the instance of death we cannot permit any deviation . . . we make the brain perfect before we blow it out."
