Years ago, Woody Allen used to joke that he'd been thrown out of college as a freshman for cheating on his metaphysics final. "I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me," he confessed.
Today, the joke is on us. Cameras follow your car, GPS tracks your cell phone, software monitors your Web surfing, X-rays explore your purse, and airport scanners see through your clothes. Now comes the final indignity: machines that look into your soul.
With the aid of functional magnetic resonance imaging, neuroscientists have been hard at work on Allen's fantasy. Under controlled conditions, they can tell from a brain scan which of two images you're looking at. They can tell whether you're thinking of a face, an animal, or a scene. They can even tell which finger you're about to move.

"But if you got nothing to hide..." famous last words of bootlickers and others whom throughout history have bowed to tyranny in the first step towards their eventual slaughter.

My EYES!!!!!
That kind of ugly will kill any man’s bone...
You know, when mankind can do things like this and say, ‘cool,’ I always marvel that they can also say about God (who can do ANYTHING), that’s simply impossible. We’re only human...imagine what God can and does do.
