+600 million man hours to reclaim ID's for every million people robbed of their ID. Wasn't there 8 million Americans stung with ID fraud last year? 

Rough back of the napkin losses ~$180 billion+ and we spend $9.1 billion to not 'fix' it?

Wow, what a market. Someone's enjoying the boom and I'd say it's only just beginning with those figures. Won't it bust us though?

Maybe not if we use mobile phones...

Some mobile solutions don't appear to be quite as at-risk to infections as others.
