- SSNs are dangerous things.
- With a name and SSN, I can find out a whole lot about you really fast.
- I can find out where you live, where you have lived in the past, I can
- check your entire credit history, find out your criminal records, down to
- the tiniest traffic violations, etc. etc.
-
- And if I was nasty and wanted to play illegal, I could get your school
- records, information about your taxes, family, medical history, insurance,
- etc. etc.
