My question following your comment was about physical descriptions required for those applications. SS# are required by schools as a matter of course without abuse. This was true even 35 years ago when I was on campus. Big whoop. Obviously your employer will have to have that number. And it is known to just about anyone who wants to know it. You don't tell hospitals or insurance companies?

Using mechanisms that result in higher charges to the customer such as tracking devices etc. are much different than mere security means of assuring identity. I would certainly not rent a car with those mechanisms but have heard nothing about them being dropped.

There is no privacy issue here; unless you wear gloves at all times you leave your fingerprints everywhere everyday.

Oh, I see. If someone does something wrong for long enough, it isn't wrong anymore. Thanks for helping me with that.

Obviously your employer will have to have that number.

That is because they deduct steal money from my check for Social Security. I call it stealing because I'll never see a dime of that money because it's been lost in the government's unconstitutional ponzi scheme.

Amazing how one constitutional violation (creating Social Security) leads to all sorts of problems.

If the employer uses the SSN for any other purpose, or discloses it to anyone but Social Security, they have violated my privacy.

And it is known to just about anyone who wants to know it.

"Momma, the kitchen is on fire!"

"Don't put it out, son. Light the living room on fire too."

Thinking of it that way puts slippery slope arguments into persective.

You don't tell hospitals or insurance companies?

Nope. They aren't the Social Security Administration, so they can KMA.
