OUCH! I would NEVER ever NEVER ever NEVER ever NEVER ever NEVER ever NEVER
ever (sounds like a monty python skit) consider placing MY SSN into a
browser that did not at least display the security icon so at least I'd have
that sense of security :O.  I still will browse on line and then call the
stores to place my orders ;o)
