arkansas used to use your ss # as your drivers license #, unless you requested otherwise. of course that's out now.
and don't put that #on your checks either.
on a related note, you're allowed a free peek once a year at your credit reports...i usually check mine at tax time.

Luckily my SS card wasn't in my purse, but there was enough information in there for them to know my whole life story. On top of that, I had all of the giftcards that I received for Christmas in there. UGH! I dare them to show up at my house for round two.
