Social Insecurity Number Humour

Following the recent spate of social security number revelations (veterans and hotel.com customers) I'm begining to wonder if there is anyone left who hasn't had their personal information compromised thanks to computer related screwups? If this goes on much longer the government will soon be able to use it as an excuse - after all if your SSID, DOB, address, phone number and credit card numbers have already been posted on the internet five times this year, what's one more?

Taking it a step further they might as well just make posting all that information a requirement before you get on the Internet so then we can all dispense with that costly security crap. Lets face it, its only a matter of time before all those phone records the NSA has been collecting get accidentally dumped onto file sharing networks somewhere then everyone will have a chance to get to grips with how they feel about the old pirvacy vs. security argument.
