This is an interesting question. Would it be a violation of NAP to use a machine to get information inside the head of another person if no damage was done and it the process was not noticeable to the target? If a person were in public, no one would say that it is aggression to read their facial expressions to divine their mood, or to look at their clothing as an indicator of wealth, status, interests. Would a mind reading machine be a more complex version of facial reading (assuming the target were in a public space)? Would this be different than looking at someone with a thermal imager/radar to see what might be in their clothing (again assuming they are in a public space)?
