The U.S. Army is currently researching the idea of creating helmets that can automatically pick up short thought command sequences to be relayed from one soldier to another without any visible motion. Ignoring the possibility of false commands being transmitted into the data stream for a minute, another version of these helmets could be put into production fairly fast. This version would just monitor the brain waves associated with sleepiness and shout 'WAKE UP SOLDIER' into an earpiece linked to the helmet. If we didn't want to take the blunt instrument
approach, a soldier's musical preferences could be programmed into the helmet. When the helmet sensed the soldier was getting overly nervous it would play some soothing melody; if it sensed they were getting bored or sleepy it would play an uptempo number.
** Note: This wouldn't be like the nod-off alarms that some truck drivers use. If the soldier started to nod off in the middle of the night it might be too late. We need them wide awake the whole time.

This idea probably should have been put under Collaboration Between Federal Agencies.
No, what we need are helmets that warn if the wanker wearing it is in violated of the constitution or principles therein.
Then, all elected officials must wear said helmet 24-7.
If they think bad thoughts, helmet should beep loudly and have many flashing colored lights.
