Should the government search your brain?

This writer definitely knows how to write an article to get people riled up. The government searching my brain?! I had to read this article! I ended up being a little disappointed. Well, I guess it's good that no government officials we be directly invading my mind, but I was expected a somewhat exciting article. Actually, I was left a little bit confused by the time I finished reading it. The article mentioned all sorts of technology that will supposedly exist in the future, but if I understood correctly, the current issue is simply whether or not government officials can force you to give up your password. Well, if they have a legitimate reason to believe you have important evidence on your computer, I think that's perfectly fine. The government shouldn't be breaking into people's personal computers and looking at private documents whenever they want, but that is another issue. If someone may have committed a serious crime, and if evidence might exist on their computer, a simple password shouldn't keep the government out.
Despite my personal opinions, it was a very well-written article. It appealed to pathos with all of its talk about our rights and its bleak description of a future where no thoughts are private and the fifth amendement no longer exists. Logos is used as well, explaining how this could be considered unconstitutional. I think this could certainly get people angry, but I still think it's a bit of an overreaction and the article makes the facts sound much worse than they are.
