I don't think you'd necessarily need an SSN anyhow - in most cases, name, birthdate, and hometown/HS should be sufficient to do a check. (What are the odds of 2 Jane Smith's both born on 3-14-89 both from City XYZ? And then what are the odds of them both going through NPC recruitment? In the rare event that a duplicate match might happen, a procedure could be established for a deeper verification.)
Many of us already gave our SSNs to our own NPC group on the new member paperwork. (I won't go so far as to say that all NPC groups collect them for their pledges/new members, but I suspect a lot do.) However, I wouldn't be in favor of an NPC database that contained them for all 26 orgs members in one location. Too hard to control for who has access and to big of an expense to develop/maintain.
