About 100 computer discs with 1.3 million Chicago voters' Social Security
numbers have been distributed to aldermen and ward committeemen,

The discs also contain voters' birth dates and addresses -- information
that along with Social Security numbers can be used to commit identity
theft.

But we all *know* that the Chicago ward comitteecritters are fine upstanding
law-abiding citizens and wouldn't do *anything* like that, right?
