Unfortunately, our government isn’t doing a great job to protect us from identity thieves. It’s been almost two years since millions of our veteran’s names, SSN and birth dates were made available in a huge security breach. You’d think they’d have learned a lesson from that, but I guess there’s just too much red tape needed to actually get the ball rolling in Washington to implement tighter security.

Besides the Feds, our local governments need to tighten up on security measures, too.  The Davidson County Election Commission Building in Nashville, TN lost 370,000 registered voter’s info in a break-in  on 12/28/07.  On the same day, the US Air Force lost a laptop with info affecting 10,501 active and retired Air Force members and the Minnesota Dept. of Commerce lost a laptop with info on 219 identities.
