Decades sounds optimistic to me. I'll grant that specific information held in neural networks, like passwords, would be tricky compared with what's currently possible, but if these devices can read appetite... then what about attention, mood, sleep patterns? What about associations, like emotional responses associated with stimuli like political messages? Out of the gate, I bet data from these devices would be considered valuable.
More likely, track a person's media habits and their stress levels/seratonin. Determine what makes them fear, what makes them consumer product, what allegiances they have, and how they can be broken.
