It is supposed to be illegal to use our SSN's for anything outside of business involving the Social Security Administration. It's supposed to be illegal to even ask for it.

"Supposed to be" and "is" are two different things. Here in Washington, for example, the Department of Fish and Wildlife asks for it when purchasing a hunting or fishing license, obstensibly to track "deadbeat dads" that have skipped out on child support payments. Apparently, that must free up more time to hunt and fish...

Your SSN has already become a defacto lifetime serial number, used for tracking virtually everything you do. I'm surprised we don't have to get it tattooed somewhere, and a microchip injected with it coded. For our "safety", don'tcha know...
