Military heroes' Social Security numbers posted online
Rear Admiral Grace Hopper* commented during a lecture that automation and the Privacy Act are fundamentally mutually exclusive. Get ready for that warm fuzzy when Obamacare personal data info goes out public as well. *Google to get the accreditation she had.

When I first went into the army we had serial numbers. At some point -- around 1972, I think -- the serial number was dropped in favor of using the social security number. That was back in the day before fraud became this rilly, rilly kewl way of life, looked up to by all the kidz in the 'hood, so we used to have our serial/social security numbers stenciled on our duffel bags.
