Not because it would not be a good idea to put much trust in an individual who is sixty years old and does not have a bank account or credit card in his own name.  Rather this could set off a spate of such proxy identifications which can lead us to no good end.  I am not so much concerned with the question of whether or not Mr. Bordo's mother knows her son is using her Paypal account.  I am more concerned with the idea that this may have a negative impact on proper personal authentication of individuals in the future.  It may lead to a relaxed and too flexible authentication scheme.  I am wary of people who use the identities or good name of others to establish themselves.

I'd still like to know some details about you.  Please provide us with 
some tangible evidence that you are who you say you are.
