iPods don't steal identities. People steal identities. With iPods?

According to the United Press International, a San Francisco man has been arrested for fraud and forgery with an iPod. OMG!

Before breathless hysteria leads some legislator to ban iPods as ID theft tools, pause a moment. Count to ten. Here are other "ID theft tools" that can hold personal information that legislators may want to think about as well:

• My digital camera. I can keep stuff on the SD chip.
• The sushi disk.
• A cardboard box.
• Plastic bags.
• Briefcases.
• Hard drives. The external kind are particularly evil.
• Anyone with Eidetic memory
