This isn't going to stop until we stop treating SSNs like they're secret. Mine's not; it's been leaked at least once that I know of and I've given it freely to dozens of clerks and HR staffers over the years, any of whom had ample opportunity to jot it down for personal use.I know this will never actually happen, but I sincerely wish the Social Security Administration would publish a complete official database of real name to SSN mappings. It wouldn't impede their use as Social Security Numbers, but it would make it extremely obvious how inappropriate they are as a proof of identity. Maybe then we'd finally be forced to come up with something a bit less insane.
