Then there's the sidebar with our report on how much info we were able to dig up on Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who has introduced legislation that would slow the spread of Social Security Numbers. Yes, we found her SSN, unlisted phone number, and home address, but we had to pay for some of it:

This sort of process should work well for compiling the government related material for the public Distributed Dossier Server Those living in SF for some time probably remember Feinstein's running battle with the operator's of the O'Farrell Theater. a pioneer adult entertainment establishment. When mayor Dianne tried to crack down on the O'Farrell, the owners retailiated by posting her private, unlisted, home number on their marquis. Almost as soon as she changed it they were able to obtain the new number. As I recall it really got under her skin. --Steve
You should've asked on cypherpunks. I found Dianne's SSN for free a few weeks ago. It's 567-40-7912. (No charge -- the first one's free.) Obtained from <http://www.fulldisclosure.org/abroker.html>. In article <v0300781eafb255b4b8c6@[168.161.105.191]>, Declan McCullagh <declan@well.com> wrote:
