Rectifying Social Security Identity Theft?

VxSote asks: "A 19 year old kid tried to buy a car only to find out his SSN had been stolen and used by a terrorist. Now, after talking to various government entities, he is no closer to having his (presumably) good name cleared. So this situation begs the question: how exactly does one go about fixing such a mess?"

  1. MY solution by schnits0r · · Score: 5, Funny

    Okay, my advice, first and foremost, and the most important thing is you have to watch your breathing. That is critical to shot follow through. I would recommend the prone position as it allows the firearm of your choice to be equally balenced, as well as providing enough room to breathe without interupting the accuracy of the shot. When you have aquired your target, gently squeeze the trigger, as if you pull it too hard, your firearm will move too drasticly and you will miss the target. I do recommend you go for accuracy, over grouping, unless you want to merely startle them, then grouping would be okay. If you take my advice, not just for this sort of thing, but for everything, I can almost garuntee you will have the upperhand in most situations. Good luck, Schnits0r

    He would need to join the terrorist organization. It would be easier than update multiple government databases.

    "Allen did not get his new car."

    WTF? They couldn't figure out this kid was not a Yemeni terrorist? Note that they did not call the cops or FBI, they just refused to process his credit application.

    Can't let those terrists get their hands on those Chevy Cavaliers of mass destruction, can we?

    They would help, but they're busy serving no-knock warrants on elementary schools for copyright infringement.
