RANT: How many sisters do you have?


A friend of mine was doing online defensive driving course to get out of a ticket, and the thing asks you many verification questions, like where is the car registered, what town do you reside in, blah blah blah. But it also asks some disturbing ones: Do you hold a valid passport? (OK, I can see that one) What was your mother's name at the time of your birth? What was the name of the hospital in which you were born? How many sisters do you have?
WHAT? This information is made available to COMMERCIAL entities? WTF? HELLO? Does ANYBODY find this disturbing???
