I was working for the graduate dean's office at my university, and was helping set up a big presentation for new teaching assistants. One of the talks being given was the importance of security and privacy, with a lot of focus on keeping your SSN secure.
As the talk began, the presenter passed around a sheet and asked everyone to sign in - with their name, school, and social security number.
It made it halfway around the big conference hall, and halfway through the talk, before someone finally raised their hand and asked about the incongruity of being at a talk about the importance of keeping SSN's secret, while being asked to sign in with them.
