Prevent The Cost of Identity Theft

[purplefdu]

One thing that always gets me on these is no mention of a military ID. Which not only has your SSN but that of your "sponsor" if you are not the active/inactive duty member. I used to carry my Social Security card because it was less dangerous than my military ID which gives two social security numbers, one with a top secret security clearance already in place. Yes I have mine memorized, but its not much good for paperwork to just write it down.

I don't carry or even own a backup pair of glasses. My keys are normally carbinered to my jeans, any USB would be on said keychain. I do carry business cards on me, never the checkbook but we have two big scary dogs (well they sound big and scary).

These lists are great, but there are plenty of other ways to get your information and not everyone will ever lose a purse or wallet.
