    The use of SSN is problematic.
    Not everyone has one, and some
    folks use fradulant ones. The
    SSA has at least 4.1% internal
    error rate using SSN as an ID.
    And the FTC will soon enforce
    the 'Red Flags' rule, having a
    chilling effect such that most
    health care leaders depricate
    the use of the SSN in med recs.

    As a CxO at an academic medical center, you become aware that the electronic documents that are the work product of the morbidity and mortality working group are stored on a somewhat restricted departmental share. While not discoverable, they are sensitive.(!) So you address this, and in the fullness of time you come to realize that external storage media often do contain The Only Copy of a Business Record, of the sort that state and federal regulations require you to maintain a copy for 5-to-30 years, depending on the document in question. So, you address this, but then you bolt upright in a drenching sweat and thank the heavens that you only dreamt that you were a CxO in an academic medical center; luckily, in reality, your occupation is the less stressful 'bomb squad guy.' The moral of the story is that there are no good USB devices or bad USB devices, just good and bad uses of USB devices. Avoid the ones that can blow up on you.
