The Swiss NGO Sadcross is given a video document addressing the CIA. It contains the demonstration of a system for scanning and recording human memories – even without permission. “Memory Scan” has been developed in Switzerland and is meant for interrogation purposes in the war against terrorism. During the presentation, the target person is dying. Sadcross is publishing it to find the guilty.

La ONG «Sadcross» riceve un video dagli archivi della CIA contenente la presentazione di un sistema col quale i ricordi di una persona possono essere scannerizzati e registrati – anche senza il suo consenso. «Memory scan» è stato sviluppato in Svizzera per essere utilizzato nella guerra al terrorismo per condurre gli interrogatori. L’uomo sul quale il sistema viene dimostrato muore. «Sadcross» cerca i colpevoli.
