With identity theft rampant, we need to be cautious with our personal information. But consumer advocates say there's something else we ought to be vigilant about: expensive services for identity theft protection.

Get yourself an ID-Card 2004-05-25

And don't handle everything with things everybody can guess, like a mother's maiden name.

You have a social security number, so what's wrong with an ID-Card?

At least, if you have a Social security number AND an ID-Card, you can keep the SSN secret while using the ID-Card every day. If someone steals your ID-Card (and looks like the one on your ID-Photo), you still can prove to be yourself with your SSN.

Currently, America's non-existent security policies are the biggest security threat to the world. And a missile defense system won't help much.
