Since 9/11 it has become our dossier number, already children were being provided with social security numbers at birth, parents applying before leaving the hospital nursery. That has been going on for some time. I have not seen one doctor or medical facility since home security has increased that has not demanded my social security card and actually duplicated it for their files. I think we are going to have to accept that the number is our identity system. I shiver when I think of the employees who might have access to that photocopy.
