== Please remove my name and e-mail if you forward this to IP. ==
A search for an SSN shaped regex on the full AOL search data returns
a 191 results including repeat searches. Many of these have full
names, and at least a dozen include either an addresses, drivers
license number, date of birth or some combination of the three in the
same query. There's no telling how much more information an
aggregation of other queries by those same user ID would yield.
