It probably can be spoofed. People can be trained to change brain wave patterns. In fact neurofeedback is becoming a very good method of treating ADHD. So if that is being used to screen people from the country - probably you will be able to be trained to give a different pattern when needed. Moreover the author of the article mentioned using it on green card holders (resident aliens), but not on US citizen. From what I understand, residents of the US who are not citizens have most of the legal rights as American citizens. The so-called brain fingerprinting will probably be declared inadmissable in the first case against a resident alien.
