After they enter your SSN, they are given the option, AT THE LOW PRICE OF $9.95, to hear a recorded voice confirm that you were once an employee of theirs, and to give out the start and end dates of your employ. (It's $1 dollar cheaper if they access it through some website.) OR, they can pay much more (something like $19 or $25) to access your SALARY HISTORY...but they can only do that after you set up an "Account" in the system and give your potential future employer the password. Now, how many companies are going to PAY to find out you actually worked somewhere previously? BConnors "Prepare for metamorphosis. Ready, Kafka?"

I'd also think that the act would eventually bite them on the ass, as they become the butt of rest of industry.. of course for those lacking a shame gene: this might not matter much.
