Default Re: ID Theft

My wife is a travel agent and has consistently maintained that those plastic hotel keys are indeed 'live' with one's personal information. I usually give them back to the hotel clerk when we check out; when they're reused, the next person's information is encoded on them. (The hotel has your information already anyway.) If in doubt, then shred them (rather than simply cutting them in half and throwing them away).
