I may be confusing the topics somewhat, but one of the reasons I have  
for having as little of the information about registrants available  
to as few as possible is indeed to avoid giving ID thieves the  
information they need to steal the ID.  So considering that the vast  
majority (anyone have an idea of the real %ages?) of registrants are  
good law abiding folks and only a very few are ID thieving bad guys  
isn't the greater good served more by keeping the information as  
restricted as possible?
