Let's just say that if you lose your driver's license or get it stolen, someone else will own you.

Could own you. I suspect that in most cases it'd get tossed and you would never see it again or might find it witht he SS# and other cards - cash and credit.

I'd like to see more security for opening credit type accounts than a SS# and ID though.
