I still find that the best line of defense regarding privacy is a complete second identity. Does anyone know how to apply for proper papers (taxpayer ID#, checking account, picture ID of some sort) for a second identity? As far as I know, it is not illegal to have one, as long as it is not used for fraud. I'm an artist, yeah, that's it.
I'm not sure that you can go through such a procedure to attain a legal "alias"; but on the other hand why the hell would you want to? Think about it, if you will paper work with an institutions to attain an alias you would have to give them in formation about you identity. Short of commiting fraud by giving false informaiton do you think that you have really gain any privacy? Anyone can still find out who you are.
