Possible Hype on Identity Theft?

Yahoo has an article stating that the situation involving identity theft may not be as bad as previously thought.

The situation is only bad if your credit rating was flawless as it is for a dwindling, small population ferociously fighting to keep it that way.

But for the masses, the issue is somewhat of an after thought.

I read a politically incorrect but often-true statement last night from a new online acquaintance that said her credit must be homosexual since it is hard to get straight;)

Anyone spending a lot of time to steal the identity of most people will end up more disappointed versus shopping at the finest stores built.

Credit reporting has been slack from the very inception of credit bureaus, credit reports, and credit scores.  A new fear is not going to create a problem that sustains the system itself.
