“The third experiment took the subjects’ Facebook profiles and, from inferences made from the profiles, predicted the first five digits of their Social Security numbers and their interests and activities.”
LOL! Wow! So you can tell what their interests are by looking at their facebook profiles. Amazing. :)

By logical extension, it should also be possible to use this system to winnow out potential terrorists at airports, railroads and other transportation centers and cut the number of TSA flunkies by at least 3/4th.

Based on when and where a person was born, the algorithm predicts the first five digits, which are based on location. It can then guesses the remaining digits, but that could take 100 tries.
So how is it guessing (and verifying) the remaining digits? I'm pretty sure you'd need a good 5,000 guesses to get to a 50-50 chance on them.
