“Hi, I’m selling useless, pointless crap door to door. Oh, I’m going to need your Social Security number.”
April 10, 2012
I don’t know if Social Security plates would fly in today’s identity theft-conscious world — giving up your vital digits and all. Hell, I doubt it flew back in the 1970s. I find that keeping my vital papers stored in a cigar box in a hallway closet does just fine, thank you very much.
This even makes GRIT look good.

This has the feel of a repurposed item to me. “What the hell are going to do with these 10,000 left-over metal plates? I know, we can sell them as security plates for social security cards!”
Agreed.
