People think it's magical key that can get you all kinds of information about
someone. Bullsh*t. An SSN does NOT get you an entry into peoples private

In a "real" world that would be true. In fact, right now,
for one simple example, with your cellphone # and soc sec, I
could add a phone to your service, disconnect you, buy things,
etc. all because stupid lazy corporations rely on "last four
of your soc sec" for "security".
