Ha Ha, very cute (NOT!). Sadly, this won't happen by your own definitions
within the given boundaries of Aura Reading in SR. That individual is going
to have a very (okay, LIKELY to have), very vibrant quality to his/her(its?)
aura. And, due to various consequences, as the person "thinks the usage of
the talent to exert control actions over the target", the target of the talent
is going to have a reflective/similar aspect within their own aura to that of
the user.
We've had another option for a setting....

Team of runners is hiding out, about to break in to a lab located on Xocatli-3
(an orbital factory owned by Aztechnology). The team's magician is there
mostly for her expertise in electronics (that, and she owns the highest grade,
to SOTA standards, Maglock in the party). The whole time, the magician keeps
feeling like she's being watched, but can't quite figure it out, and is
deathly afraid to perform an astral perception action.
Next thing anyone knows, the doors are opening at the end of the gantry
access, and a couple of armored suit types are drifting their way, lasers
brought to bare. Just as the team's samurai are about to respond, the sammie
on the left reaches out and slaps the sammie on the right. The goons keep
approaching, not even going to have to deal with the team's counteractions.
There's "Control Actions" for a Psionic's User (your definition, and to an
extent, ours as well).
