You raise a good point- but it would be much harder for somebody to loot my bank account than to make a bunch of purchases on the internet with my credit card. At least they try to verify at the bank, and mine is a small local bank, "where everybody knows your name." Another argument for getting away from the mega banks, I guess.
I was thinking the other day, though- the standard question when you try to do something by phone on your bank account is mother's maiden name. It would take some time to establish a "database", but you can harvest a lot of mother's maiden names from the obituaries- "Hazel (Poindexter) Cadwallader, daughter of Ezekial Poindexter and Hortense (Ingmarsen) Poindexter, died Tuesday, survived by sons A, B, C and daughter D, brothers E and F, and sisters G, H and I." Bingo, you've got mother's maiden names of her 4 kids and her 5 siblings.
Ditto the relatives of the bride and groom in wedding announcements, and listing of kin in birth announcements. And a bonanza in last night's paper- "2012 Cutest Baby contest- 8 pages of local baby pics, with parents, grandparents and great grandparents listed.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
