10. These days Social Security cards are used as ID
And everyone has one. So I wonder if we could issue SS cards with photo. After all, we do use photo ID to write a check and, for a while, some retailers wanted a photo ID when I paid with a VISA card "to protect me" they said.

I wonder whether SS cards with a photo would have prevented some of the fraud post Katrina.

As an idea I don't see anything wrong with it, but there is always the suspicion that it can be used for nefarious purposes.
