how in the world is looking at my credit report going to help them do a risk assessment when I fly on a plane??? that's just plain ludicruous.

FWIW, on the grocery store "frequent buyer" programs I never enter my real information. I saw a webpage for a guy the other day that is trying to throw off a large chains database by handing out his card information to other people and telling them to use his card number when they purchase. he's going to be the super shopper with some rather wierd buying patterns


tonybradly - thanks for the link. I'll be going over your paper some and will come back with some questions I'm sure.
