Monitoring Service Costs?
Providing identity fraud protection services costs just $2(ish) per person? Am I missing something? That seems like an awfully low price for doing 1,000,000 of anything.
If that figure is accurate, why the hell aren't those services provided by default as a sort of 'value added' feature of your Social Security Number? It costs more than $2 for most public servants to pull up your records.
It's simply poor risk management to have Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies devoting enormous resources to help prevent and prosecute identity fraud if $2 per person will mitigate such fraud. You'd be freeing up huge amounts of money and manpower that could go to other things.
