@josh so what would be the primary key or foreign key for that matter? the problem is not the information but the kind of information about you that would be accessible to those who should not have access to it. In the case of the drivers license guess its the amount of information returned to anyone that is the problem and not that the primary key was the social security no. Plus if information about you is being stored in different institutions or government agencies how else would they link your data across all the db's. Any system can be abused be it computers or paper systems. What would you suggest as the next step?
