The problem is that the data is worth a lot more to thieves than it is to the 'holder' so its always going to 'leak'. People are quite happy to spend a few years in prison for crime, they're going to be more than happy to work in a company for a few years until they can nick a few identities and collect millions in a few clicks. Be afraid of ID, very afraid. Tom te tom te tom -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
