  Greidinger v. Davis SSN Decision
To be sure, by definition, the fact that the SSN may be potentially disseminated to any registered voter or political party with the attendant possibility of a serious invasion of one's privacy is demonstrably more restrictive than predicating the right to vote on the simple receipt and internal use of the SSN.
By allowing the SSN to be disseminated to registered voters or political parties upon request, Virginia's voter registration scheme conditions the right to vote on the consent to the public disclosure of a would-be voter's SSN.
SSNs were first intended for use exclusively by the federal govern- ment as a means of tracking earnings to determine the amount of Social Security taxes to credit to each worker's account.

 ChrisW's Non-Fiction Book Review Page
The book is long on the details of submarine life and low on the details of the mission, the goal of which most of the crew (including the author, who was a reactor operator) was unaware of at the time.
While this would not work in a book that aimed to be a general history of the war, this book aims to be a supplement to such histories, and so the scheme works fairly well.
This book confirmed a few conclusion that I had tentatively reached before: that the LOS ANGELES class submarine may be the most overrated submarine in postwar history; that the security of the United States was materially damaged by Rickover's actions; and that Eisenhower's warnings about the military-industrial complex were well-founded.

Published in 2000, this book does an excellent job of establishing a framework for what are still some of the major privacy issues of today.
Specifically the history of how the use of the Social Security Number (SSN) has grown and become the de facto national identifier was very thorough.
In summary, I find this book to be a fairly succinct, well constructed if aging discussion of the major privacy issues in the

"SSN" was a pretty good book........but, really, not a typical Tom Clancy book.
It was written in conjunction with the video game and sort of followed the extrordinary accomplishments of the "hero" line of most video adventure games.
The scariest thing about Tom Clancy books is how knowledgeable he is about the topics he's writing about, and how some of the situations he describes would not be that difficult to see happening in real life.

And my partner was writing this book about relationships between women in the Victorian period while I was writing my book, so I got to eavesdrop on her research.
There is a risk inherent in these books, though—it can become easy to read about writing without actually writing, or to do continuous writing exercises rather than working on a project that is coming from deep inside yourself.
The best thing about reading a really compelling, entertaining book is when you've finished and you sit there for a few minutes with the book still in your hand thinking about the characters and how they're advancing beyond the pages.

 My Social Security Number in the Bible Lexicons
Word 2569 in the New Testament (Zodhiates') is ironic in that it depicts the philanthropic opposite of the socialist philosophy behind the Social Security Number.
The words before and after word 2569 are also relevant to both the idea of the Social Security Number as well as my particular mission in life to increase scriptural understanding (and help overturn wickedness such as is found in the drive to use identification numbers for the promotion of world socialism).
That has been the focus of my life, to be an instrument in the hands of God to carry forth his work on earth.

After licensing books such as The Hunt for the Red October and Red Storm Rising in the '80s, Clancy took a more active role in the creation of games based on his work.
Like his books, Clancy's games are based on real-world situations, real-world equipment and real-world tactics.
Though early attempts such as SSN and Politica met with mixed reviews, several later projects built around squad-based military and anti-terrorist missions have met with critical and popular acclaim.
