Not afraid of ID Theft? You will be!

Identity theft is a growing problem that is evidenced by weekly news about large databases which have been hacked.
Recently Monster.com lost over 1 million records and Ameritrade.com lost over 6 million records including social security numbers.
America needs to take action. Shredding your personal documents and having a locking mailbox is not enough. The social security number should not be used for anything beyond tax purposes and the credit bureaus need to tighten up their business either on their own or through government regulation.
