Get a boarding pass, steal someone's identity

[Perry E. Metzger]

I got this pointer off of Paul Hoffman's blog. Basically, a reporter
uses information on a discarded boarding pass to find out far too much
about the person who threw it away....

The story may be exaggerated but it feels quite real. Certainly I've
found similar issues in the past.

These days, I shred practically anything with my name on it before
throwing it out. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but then again...
