Could Terrorists Hijack Your Brain?

Screw 'em, they ain't smart enough.....but read on:

From the editors at Technology Review in conjunction with MIT Technology Insider

According to a new report on biosecurity, technological advances in the not-so-distant future may make it a possibility.

Scientists who drafted the report were also particularly concerned about the potential of bioregulators -- small, biologically active organic compounds that can regulate different systems in the body. Newer technologies such as targeted delivery methods that zero in on the immune or neuroendocrine systems could make it easier to use bioregulators in insidious ways.

Terrorists could also co-opt relatively new technologies, such as synthetic biology, which aims to build organisms that can detect or produce chemicals or perform other functions; and RNA interference, a technique that allows scientists to easily control gene expression.
