ssn’s on department of justice web site

I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but there are Social Security Numbers (SSNs) on documents on the U.S. Department of Justice’s web site. Follow the link and type “SSN” into the search box, then sift through the results.

Here’s one document on the DOJ web site with an SSN (jump to page 33). I didn’t go through all of the search results, but did find that one fairly quickly. I’m sure these records are considered “public information”, however, in my opinion, the DOJ is setting a very bad example by including the SSNs in these documents.
