All though I agree with you, I have found that I need the plactics cards
to survive.  The credit people insist on it so alas I gave in.  Here
at Boeing, they use your SSAN for you employee number, and I have to put 
it on everything.  I would like to see that changed, but I feel it wiser
to be quiet for the moment.  What really gets me is that the CREDIT UNION
uses it as my account number.  After reading this, I think I'll call them
and ask them to change it.  There is no reason for it to appear on my
checks, etc.
