Identity Theft
ResumeBanks and credit card companies say they're keeping a close eye on financial data. But these days, with the government doing little to combat online criminals, it seems they don't have the upper hand and that any day, someone could be riding off in a Porsche in your name.

Guests:
Jonathan Turley, professor at George Washington University Law School and identity theft victim;
Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at U.S. Public Interest Research Group;
Dan Clements, CEO of the consumer protection company Card Cops and an expert on credit card fraud
