Covert Dark Ops vs. Open Source Transparency 

In Military thinktank sees dark future

Go For IT, MOD, IT is not as if you do not have the Access to Sensitive Sources for Intellectual Property Protection and Extraction...... Phish Pharming.

""Developments might include the invention of synthetic telepathy, including mind-to-mind or telepathic dialogue. This type of development would have obvious military and security, as well as control, legal and ethical, implications."

Spirit them away into Thin air a la Jim Gray?
