The question of how one or two people could take a town hostage with remote neural monitoring stolen from the 29 Palms Military Base in the 1980's, begs the question...how hard did the U.S.M.C. try to find technology that they knew, in the wrong hands, could be used for criminal activity on a human level? I'm really interested in the bioethical questions that surround this crime and will be exploring them this week during..."Bioethical Standards and Violations Week" on this blog. This should be interesting and there are plenty of other examples of the U.S. Government acting irresponsibly in the face of what should have been considered an act of terrorism.
Nearly 40 years later, the Holocaust of Palm Springs has cost numerous gay men and women their lives...the technology was only one hour away. The database had a suspect included...why wasn't she observed and found??? It wouldn't have been difficult at all. The technology should have automatically been considered to be stolen by someone that obviously knew about it...and was likely a military dependent...why didn't the Marines use the same technology to find her???
