Argh! Shiver Me Timbers!
The year of my freshman year here was the first year that Miami had stopped putting students’ Social Security Numbers on their ID cards. Why? Because it’s against the law. For good reason, too. Anytime your SSN is out in the open, your privacy and identity are in danger. Sound paranoid? It is, but you should be paranoid because they are out to get you. Why is it then that when I go to the To-Go window at Erickson Dining Hall, order my food, let them swipe my card, and then look at my receipt, my SSN is right there on the receipt? This is as dumb as those stores that print your entire credit card number with expiration date on your receipt. But that’s another rant in itself.
