- narcissus 16y agoYeah, the only 'shame' is that even if they embedded their TFNs, what's the worse that could happen? The laws that protect the use of the TFN would essentially make having it useless anyway. Unlike in the US, for example, where the stories seem to imply having someones SSN means that I could essentially steal their identity. I don't know how far you would get trying to do something like that with a TFN only...
