Sorry. That does not fly. We're not talking about anyones home here. What we're talking about is an educational institution that insists on having you social security number for identification purposes, a request which is illegal in the first place unless allowed by additional law. It is their responsibility to safeguard that information. In this day and age one would think that we would stop using social security numbers for identification. Especially from a supposed "intellectual" community. It is frightening how little these institutions really understand about security and the long term impact of their ignorance on National Security.

I do not have the social security numbers of thousands of people stored in my home. Apples and oranges.
