It's only a matter of time.
Seeing as I can't seem to find any real sources on this, you may not have much to worry about. (links if you have them please)

The technology works based on fMRI. Which means it is impossible to do remotely. I would have never thought we'd have hand-held computers, no. I also wouldn't have thought we'd have computers that allow you to cook breakfast in the monitor and reach in and grab it... which we don't have. Somethings are flat impossible. I can't create new matter so I can't have a breakfast computer. I can't get an MRI without creating a very strong, contained magnetic field whilst laying in a chamber (which you have to do, you can't get an image otherwise). If they invent super-portable-magnetic field rays that can somehow single in on a target, ignoring everything else behind it, can track the taget whilst moving for long enough to get a reading (not to mention scale MRI technology to a reasonable size) then we'll talk.

To me anyway, it's simply not plausable.
