Note the second comment: ‘Neuroscience has some scary connotations when coupled with big government. ? Prehaps mandatory brain scans might occur in the future and people get locked up for pre-crimes.

So demonstrated correlations between certain physical characteristics and crime are somehow leading to ‘nefarious purposes by unscrupulous men’. Yeah, that’s bright.
