I'm hoping this will won't be as accessible to the security services and hackers as normal communications seem to be. What are the chances our heartbeats and small movements won't be interesting to big brother?

When the red light goes on, stop having sex in the TV room. Or hey, install a Kinect in the bedroom and get a rating afterwards.

I'm pretty sure you could detect that with any old camera sensor, no pulse detection necessary.

Pulse detection doesn't need HD - it can work with fairly cheap sensors.
