Fed's Identity Theft Cop Gets Identity Stolen

AP reports that "the Federal Trade Commission helps millions of consumers each year battle identity theft" but "now the woman who runs the agency, Deborah Platt Majoras, finds herself a potential victim" after her credit card information was stolen at a shoe store. If she is forced into bankruptcy because of the theft, she can take up her plight with her fellow Republicans - they voted to make sure the credit card companies can still gouge you, even if you are forced into bankruptcy because of identity theft.
