Regarding all the Social Security number issues, it somehow reminds me the Onion title "‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" (I know USA is not literally the only one, but almost) - plenty of places have something similar to that number, but USA is pretty much unique is treating simply knowing it as some kind of identity proof. "Something you (and a bunch of others) know" doesn't cut it.
