not just the models.
identify theft makes business people vulnerable also, banks vulnerable, goverment agencies vulnerable, insurance companies vulnerable. HUGE problem.
it causes personal safety problems, enables terrorist activity, causes financial loss and inconvenience.
criminals WANT and will buy other people's ID---it is the crime of the century, from thieves to terrorists.
now with 2257 you have not only text ID on computers, you have recent IMAGE ID accompanied with text ID available on thousands of computer hard drives---this is a goldmine for the unsrupulous, and i can't think of a bigger risk to people.
big story today about ID theft, it is everywhere:
