I can’t buy a copy of Halo or Mass Effect, go see an R-rated movie, or even walk aorund in the local mall after 4 PM without showing someone my ‘drivers’ license’ as proof of age. After a friend and I were seeing how much information we could get from a few seconds of looking at each others’ rivers licenses and I could remember her entire address, when someone asks for proof of my age adn the age limit is something like 17 or 18, I pull out my college ID instead (it only has my name, photo, and a student ID number on it) and nobody ever seems to care.
Someone sent me $35 via Western Union last month. I gave the password and the computer at the store printed out my check. I couldn’t cash it at the store without giving my SS #. I told them forget it, I’d just deposit in the bank.
