OK, maybe that was a bad example, but it also wasn't the point. If you do a connectome mapping for one particular purpose, the ability to analyze that mapping data for many other (perhaps more insidious) purpose seems like a real problem.
A better example than the kid example I pulled straight from the article: If someone gets their connectome mapped to help select treatment for some kind of mental disorder, it may also be possible to measure if that person is prone to violence etc. All kinds of conclusions can be drawn from the same data set, limited only by the research that has been done to that point.
