Sooner rather than later if Soros is as invested in RFID technology companies as he is in the new airport x-ray nude photo scanners. I figure it is hidden somewhere in the HHS regulations for Obamacare. Get chip implanted with all medical info. or no treatment per HHS Sec. . Or, chips for every financial transaction and then a scan by the IRS to be certain all taxes are being collected.
Michael Chertoff, the orignial head of the Department of Homeland Security under Pres. Bush, is far more involved in body scan technology than Soros. In fact, he's partner in the company which builds the things, Rapiscan, and he's been going around pushing for more of them and for depolying the so-called second generation of scanners.
with NO identifying or security features whatsoever other than a signature.
Surely in this day and age we could be issued with a more SECURE "card" than a piece of flimsy cardboard we're not even allowed to LEGALLY laminate to protect it from normal "wear and tear".
Why not a plastic card with a photo and fingerprint?
My old, original SS card, issued in the late 40's or early 50's, says it's "Not to be used for identification."
I assume that's still the case, so there's your answer. It can be used to identify the number, but not me personally. It is not, and isn't supposed to be, an identification card like your drivers license is.
If that's changed over the years, I'm not aware of it.
Isn't it printed right on the card that it isn't to be used for identification purposes? So there's really no need for all sorts of "security updating," is there?
It may not legally be used for identification purposes, but it still is. I recall having to use my SS# in college on those scantron tests. Maybe that's changed since the early '90's with identity theft running rampant? Dunno.

Considering that illegals counterfeit SS cards all the time in order to obtain employment here (not to mention identity theft), I would say it's high time to update the cards.

But, didn't you have also show a second form of identification too? Usually, that's the case. An SS card to reveal the number linked to your name and another card to identify you, personally.

No, you just filled in the bubbles with your name and SS#. No other identifiers were required. Like I said though, colleges may have changed that since I graduated but I don't really know.

That bit about not to be used for ID purposes was a gigantic load. Try getting a driver's license in IN (and probably other states as well) without one. Also, in college my student ID was my SSN.

Why not just a tattoo on your azz?
