NASA plans to read terrorist's
                      minds at airports

                      By Frank J. Murray
                      THE WASHINGTON TIMES


                           Airport security screeners may soon try to read the minds
                      of travelers to identify terrorists.
                           Officials of the National
                      Aeronautics and Space
                      Administration have told Northwest
                      Airlines security specialists that the
                      agency is developing
                      brain-monitoring devices in
                      cooperation with a commercial
                      firm, which it did not identify.

:eek:

The space pen is urban legend (http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.htm).
