Microsoft's Big Brother Patent?

Update: There's been quite a bit of press lately over this patent request and privacy issues...where and how it will be used if the patent is granted remains to be seen...this is a tongue and cheek response here that in a humorous way makes a few points...from an observer's standpoint this would be great to have this available to see how presidential candidates do when discussing healthcare, you think?

Why, Microsoft biometric monitoring on C-SPAN could make for the ultimate in reality TV.
