	The National Crime Information Computer (or something similar) is a
nation wide network tying all law inforcement agencies together.  The standard
approach for identifying an individual is by either their social security number
or their name and date of birth.  If you have ever legally driven a car or 
earned money in the US, you are in there along with your address, description
and any crime, misdeminor or parking ticket.  The base key for the data base is
your social security number ( which is why they tell you to put your social
security number on property for protection, if recovered by the police anywhere
in the US, you will get notified).
