The Null Device blog:

A US congressman has introduced a bill banning space-based mind-control weapons. Rep. Dennis Kucinich's Space Preservation Act of 2001 (H.R. 2977) proscribes a wide range of space-based weapons, including "psychotronic" devices "directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of ... mood management, or mind control." The bill has been hailed by a group of victims of mind-control experiments.

(I can't see it passing though, in the current mood; especially how useful the future ability to rain Death From Above on recalcitrant oil-rich states would be to stability and the preservation of the non-negotiable American lifestyle. (For examples of the utility of space-based weapons, see Ken MacLeod, The Star Fraction.))
