TSA on Ex-Employees' SSNs: Oops, Wrong Address

It's the Transportation Security Administration's turn in the identity theft spotlight. The agency has told almost 1,200 of its former employees that a contractor may have mailed their Social Security numbers and birth dates to the wrong addresses, putting them at risk for identity theft, USA Today reports. At least the information was mailed to other TSA employees, lessening the risk that it would fall into the hands of an identity thief.
