Security log in questions are total bullshit!

If Obama had one of these accounts we could all hack it in 5 minutes.

? mom's maiden name
? high school
? occupation
? born where (ok, Tea baggers will fail)

WTF?

If they let you make up your own questions smart people wouldn't choose any of the
questions that they offer.

I think this stuff, which is supposed to make it harder for someone to hack your
account, actually makes it easy as hell for anyone who knows you to simply
guess their way into your account.

The questions are also so personal that I think they are only using this to
gather information about you that will be used for marketing and/or cross referencing
you with other information on the internet.

I'm starting to wonder if those questions are actually an invasion of privacy.
