What if I just got your name & address and did the same thing?

The objection to using the SS# for other things is because it is not
supposed to be a universal ID#. When it was first instituted there
was a lot of talk about how the SS# would turn into a universal ID.
Apparently there's some sort of mechanism in the appropriate act to
prevent this... any lawyers out there?
