Anyone asking for SS numbers must be bonded!

Cyanne is wrong.
You must give it to those entities required to collect income and tax-related information on behalf of the IRS. That includes banks and financial institutions that give interest income information to Uncle Sam, and employers that report earnings and Social Security taxes
As part of a federal law in the mid-1990s to improve collection of child support, states require Social Security numbers on license applications, whether it's for hunting or fishing, marriage, driving or professional licenses.
As a result of the Patriot Act of 2001, banks must verify the identities of new customers, and most do so by using Social Security numbers.

YES! Only your employer, the IRS, and the Social Security Administration can legally require your Social Security Number. Anyone else who does is in direct violation of federal law. They are also required to furnish you another identification number. This INCLUDES your driver's license. (If you don't wish to have your SSN on your license, they can't put it on your license!)

No. For example, the Commonwealth of Virginia uses your SSAN as your Driver's License number, and the US Military uses your SSAN on your Military ID card.

Yes , but I think they need a better system for checking your # and to report a stolen identity
