[jsfg_cinti] Social Security number asked for on a job app?

Hello all:
   
  I just went to the web page of King's Island to apply there for one of the 
jobs that were in the notice sent to this list a couple days ago. And on that 
page it has a box for an applicant to enter his/her social security number. It 
is a SSL secure web site but I don't see anything that tells why they are 
asking for a SS#. I for one don't like to give out my SS# , especially over the 
Internet. I can see giving it to them if I get hired, but not until then, 
because it's confidential and identity theft is growing at tremendous rates, or 
so I'm told. 
   
  What do others think about doing this,giving your SS# to prospective 
employers in a situation like this?
   
  Thanks
   
  Bill
