Found this piece while browsing something else and was amused to find that it was an interview with Jonathan Schooler tying the work of Bem to the "PreCogs" of this series: http://scienceandfilm.org/articles/2919/minority-report-and-precognition
I haven't seen Minority Report discussed with frequency, the last time was when Eric Fargo was the guest of the podcast, which is odd since they depict psi as extremely credible but not entirely infallible, leaving room for free will. I know that the Fox miniseries was dull as hell, but the novel is actually quite good (classic 1950s sci-fi) and the 2002 film is passable.
PS- For reference, this is what a "PreCog" is in that fictional universe: http://minorityreport.wikia.com/wiki/Precog
