Then she asked for my Social Security number.
"You can't ask for that," I informed her. She insisted that she could, and gave me the usual threats.
"No, you can't. It's against the Privacy Act of 1974 for a person's Social Security number to be demanded as a form of identification." And indeed, it is illegal for someone to order you to give them your Social Security information. It may not be all that well-known or respected, but it's still on the books.

They forced the issue.
