Invest in aluminum foil now.
- It would be good that shit works for that but I don't think so.. let's see what happens when the NSA have access to your thoughts.
  Edit: I think they will apply the "if you didn't hide anything then there is nothing to worry about" discourse.
  
  They will just use mind control to make sure you physical can not commit a crime
  
  Can they do that to the crime that has affected the greatest number of people and caused the greatest amount of lost money? Because that's wage theft and it's probably the only way I'd be cool with it.
  
  Not exactly, they can mind control you into being happy your boss steals your wages tho
  
  There's a movie called "The Last Day of American Crime" which has this premise. It has a 0% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
  
  IMDb: : The Last Days of American Crime https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1552211/
  3.8/10.

  Seems like it'd be a kind of okay option if you were really stoned and actually spent the whole movie on your phone.
  
  Maybe it could be possible to connect someone sleeping to the brain of someone else to do mind-control IDK, or do you believe it will be some kind of AI?
