The way things are progressing in genetics, cryptography, and the Java
ring,
I'd hazard a guess that deep identity theft will be harder - the info
just
won't be digital, but almost intrinsic to your person - retinal scan
used
as a passphrase for public-keyt encryption, frex.

Now, getting inside your head would be more informative, for a psych or
a
psycho, but I can see that identity might get harder to steal.
