people talk about paranoia, remember when lifelock first came out and the owner of the company used to post his own personal ssn on the side of the truck in the commercial? notice he doesn't do that anymore? that's because he has had his identity stolen 13 times....

People worry about all the wrong things.

I'm waiting.....

I'm with you,this is stupid,unneccesary paranoia.
