What happens if you scan a mirror?

Scanning a mirror usually results in a dark or black image because the scanner's light reflects away from the sensor, capturing the dark base of the scanner instead, though sometimes you might see fingerprints or a faint, blurry version of the camera itself if the light hits it just right; it's essentially seeing the scanner's interior, not a true image of the reflected world.

How can I tell if it's a two-way mirror?

To tell if a mirror is two-way, use the fingernail test: touch your fingernail to the glass; a normal mirror has a gap between your nail and its reflection, while a two-way mirror will have your nail touching the reflection directly because the reflective coating is on the front surface. Other tests include tapping for a hollow sound, shining a flashlight in a dark room (light will pass through a two-way mirror), and checking if the mirror is set into the wall rather than hanging.

The key is the intent and balance: using it to care for God's gift (body) is fine, but letting it become worship of self is sinful.
