Should profiling be illegalised at least in some states?

By profiling i mean using data compiled by credit reporting agencies and consumer reporting agencies to determine the character of a person, there are also many other ways to create a profile like "myspace". If people can get enough data on you don't you think they can compromise you somehow and take advantage. I think the initial intent of credit reports was noble but now it can be used to other means and with hackers running rampant anyone can get your credit report info.
Answer:
Yes, and further the credit reporting agencies should be illegal.

But they probably wouldn't even exist if the law was enforced. A SS card is not to be used for identification, the SSN is for the use of, and is property of, the SSA, etc., etc.

42 USC 搂 408. Penalties
'(a) In general
Whoever -
(8) discloses, uses, or compels the disclosure of the social security number of any person in violation of the laws of the United States; shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
