Remote-controlled humans? Bloggers say, yikes!

This goes into the 'Politics' category for what should be an obvious reason: what happens when we develop the technology to electrically simulate psychoactive drugs? Will the devices and schematics be banned, treated like schedule 1 controlled substances? How will that interface with niggling details like the First Amendment, which allows publication of such things as atom bomb plans? This is going to get interesting, perhaps faster than any of us can anticipate.

Bloggers are perhaps rightfully freaked out by an Associated Press story that introduces the concept of remote-controlled humans.
