Really? This would only be useful in high-risk environments, otherwise its beyond invasive. Why don't they just make a rubber band they can tie around your colon so they can control bathroom breaks too.

The boss is sitting in his office when there sounds a deep booming voice from his computer (think the voice of the robot from Lost in Space):

Voice: Employee Pat Smith is daydreaming...
Boss: Better get Pat some more work to do.
Voice: Employee Bill Johnson is pretending to work...
Boss: Better give ol' Bill a warning.
Voice: Employee John Jones is fantasizing about employee Samantha Miller...
Boss: ...better move John's desk to the basement.
