Kiss your old SSN goodbye
New SSN's for everyone? Who knows, but it would likely be a step in the right direction....
Declan McCullagh writes over on C|Net News Perspectives:
Some good might actually come out of all of these recent data mishaps.
Politicians are starting to realize that permitting data brokers like Acxiom and ChoicePoint to buy and sell your Social Security number like a raffle ticket may not be that wise after all.Some members of Congress, like Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, have been warning about the dangers of SSN misuse for years. The surprise now is that some key congressional figures are agreeing.
