Abstract

Future technologies open many new opportunities for terrorists to accomplish their objectives. This chapter reviews some possibilities that may be attractive to them, including nuclear technologies, radioactivity, brain research, metadata manipulation, toxicology, and entanglement to name a few. In the new field of neuro-criminology, scientists are attempting to correlate MRI scans of brains to anti-social and criminal behavior. Technology assessments should be initiated and possible terrorist applications included in the analysis to minimize future risks.
