When an identity thief criminal wants to take advantage of you _ rob you of your identity, steal your good name _ the first area of attack is the Social Security number. By having your Social Security number on your driver's license, it's basically one-stop shopping _ or, let's say, one-stop stealing _ for an identity thief.
