Development as a Thinker

When I began researching the topic of technological advancements in security systems, it was all based on a rumor that I had heard about when someone said that the Ocean's 13 security system is going to be put into airports soon.  And sure enough the rumor was true. As I read on about the topic I couldn't believe that we would have machines reading our minds at security checkpoints.  Then it hit me that this is the best possible advancement in security that we could have in order to make traveling a safer thing to do.  No more worrying about anyone doing any harm because if a bad person thinks about, or plots, an attack and they walk through the system-they are going to be caught.  The more and more I went into research the more I saw about the possible infringement of people's privacy, and where exactly the line is with that.  My thoughts on this were pretty simple-why would this be such a huge issue if the machine is trying to protect you? Walk through it if you know that you've done nothing wrong and your life will carry on as it will.  I have kept a pretty straight forward view on all of this-technology is our friend and it is used in this instance for the betterment of our citizens as they travel.
