  1. and some pilots have even considered arming drones with pepper spray or noise devices to ward off eagles.

    Or, you know, they could just leave the eagles alone and fly somewhere else...

    But everyone is not going to do it. A tiny fraction might and not much more. That's why no bank or lender is gonna care because they can move on to the millions of other people who aren't a hassle to deal with.

    Most people STILL don't realize this but anyone who works for a company with a subscription to any of the private investigative services could pretty much get all this information inside of 30 seconds. Not everyone is in the pay-for-use-databases but most are. I don't know if I have ever had a search come back empty.

    And so does my HR department, but that doesn't somehow make this breach okay or any less impactful.

    Yeah it's ridiculous especially since TransUnion and Experian let you set your own PIN rather than relying on some incompetent to give you a deterministic 'random' PIN.
