So, think about this. What's the biggest problem the average citizen faces because of the existance of the SSN? Many entities treat knowledge of one's SSN as proof of identity. If the government intentionally or accidently revealed all the SSN to name mappings, there would be no way that anyone could foolishly make the assumption that SSNs could be used as identification mechanisms anymore. The whole SSN concept is fucked. Let the g'ment make them public. It will dispell some of the popular myths surrounding it. - -MW- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 Comment: No comment. iQEVAwUBOwwf5ysFU3q6vVI9AQHN+Qf+KJvOXwgTL8+OvvWOQ3d+WfNcb6Qno2aR ohlucoBYFx1ptYoCIYZj9ybMYc5fuPz7KFhfblcLR6dgiAfZjHrK6s/k/yJxsGtH pdGDDiG+8lVVSaVJVmkToVnmUz1SrD0N+uEpvLO5apyUAyIXoOcjoVbzFsId2PDs f0CNvICChqXnxSwOdbQStGFN+VR3oItRrHT0F9a/nTflBsXPCIWIjCSxIaOVJ1tJ DcovdEGc+Mi0jUOtczuIUXzTA+t9XEmQnE2MZCJCM7s/D/C4nwW5Vqv/RsuhsbWa JLvPltCH0OOTG33X9L4rHd3Vr5WSqOKIRaieHs5UnHIK/wN3vMVu4A== =n4Qt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
