The last post was optimistic...

It turns out that the first 3 digits are an area number, so if you know what state someone was born in, you only have to search from 1 million (15 minutes at 1 millisecond per check) up to 24 million combinations (which is 6 hours at 1 millisecond per check). The Social Security Administration needs to hire some paranoid security people fast! (BTW, this didn't take me very long to find out... it isn't like I am a cracker or something... I just know a little bit... so what about other people who are better at it than me?)
