I've already been thinking today about social security numbers being tossed around like candy (like with TEA and kindergartners) and then I see this. Especially since it's Ross Perot's old company, EDS, whose headquarters, I think, are still out there in Plano with the God Pod as its centerpiece, needs to have some attention.

WHAT: The State of Wisconsin is responsible for citizens social security numbers being printed on mailing labels twice in 13 months. The company they hired, but did not adequately supervise, is now offering free ID theft insurance to those citizens of Wisconsin whose SSNs were exposed.

THE QUOTE: "We take our responsibility in Wisconsin very seriously and we take this matter very seriously," Kenny said. "We regret that it happened."

We regret that it happened.... TWICE.
