Olympics - Forensic Files?
Tue, 2008-08-26 17:01

The International Olympic Committee opened up an investigation into the age of two of China's gold-medal-winning Olympic gymnasts this weekend -- and closed it a day later, following a security consultant's discovery of online documents listing the competitors as too young to compete.

Now I keep hoping this will apply to me and someone will find out I am actually younger then I claim.  Really can just five or so years be shaved off?  I am not greedy!  But it does lead one to wonder what all can be found out about you.  I know from my cases it has been easy to locate the following on computer hard drives:

-Social security numbers

-Addresses

-Resumes

-Family photos (not that I usually care).

And everything else........so why can't someone find my age to be five years younger?
