Government Assurances and promises...
"Mr Senator, Mr. Congressman, Mr. Chertoff, what personal assurance and what remedies will you provide me *right now* that this data can not, and will not, be abused outside of it's alledged intended purpose? Not just now, not just by the current regime, but for years to come, and by those yet unknown."

Those questions were considered when "Social Security" was first enacted. Social Security was approved and made law only with the highest assurances that the SS number would never, NEVER be used as anything but a private account number between the Social Security Administration and the account holder. Without those "assurances and guarantees" the Social Security Act would never have become law. So much for "Government assurances and promises", they are worth less than the paper our "money" is printed on.
