My question was a real one. The basis of it comes from my work with the homeless in which they have a difficult time getting a job because they have no "home address" to put on the forms, some do not have or remember their SSNs, etc. This causes a cyclic problem for the homeless. My question to Tim was, in the real world, how is the protection of this data feasible.
And what institution ultimately requires the SSN and a considerable number of these other pieces of information? What institution puts a considerable number of roadblocks in the way of getting a post office box, for use as a home address, without a "home address"?
I do have responses to each of your "points" in your last post, but have found the process of responding point-by-point tedious and non-productive
If you've got such responses, please give them. They may very well be tedious; I'd disagree about them being non-productive, based on my past experience. Without such responses from you to some very well-reasoned arguments, we are left with the equivalent of the Feds on cryptography, i.e., "if you knew what we know you'd agree with us." -Allen
