Social Security Administration opened files after 9/11

In a startling admission, the U.S. Social Security Administration says that it made it's account files available to the FBI in their investigation of the 9/11 disaster:

"The Social Security Administration freely opened its files to the FBI and other police agencies after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. In a letter dated Sept. 13, 2001, SSA's general counsel signed off on the police agencies' request, saying the information should be released for 'investigations of the above terrorism acts.'"
