Nice childish gratuitous insult.
I suppose you think Google is run by Al Queda and they have nothing

???? Querying Google using your social security number as a key is a bit
different from posting it on USENET where anybody with Internet access can
see it and it is archived forever.
For all you know Osama Bin Laden has just gotten a much needed laugh out of
your post.

Proper response to truly stupid advice.

You are obviously as clueless about Internet security as you are about
cellular.

Transmitting your SSN in the clear over the public Internet to a public search
engine is indeed different, but is still a really bad idea. Among many other
reasons, Google searches aren't private.
