Just a short question--please no flames as this is just a
question, and not a criticism.

What do you think will happen to you that is bad if someone
knows your social security number?  I can see the value of
keeping a credit card number secret as some stranger can 
order 10,000 Mr. Microphones with your number.  But I cannot
think of any nasty thing that anyone can do to me with my
SSN--assuming of course that I am an honest taxpaying citizen.

If there is something I am missing here, I would like to know,
so I too can refuse.
