Also, I don't see what's so harmful with submitting a birthday and maiden's name; not saying it's harmless, just that I don't know exactly what's bad about that, and I'm curious what the danger is.
Of course, I'm also at a college where your student ID number is your social security number; you put this number on every test and if you forget your ID card for something, you must say it out loud.
Yep. Lot of identity theft at my school. Hell, just for fun I've memorized strangers' social security numbers, just to see how easy it would be for someone to memorize mine.
