Frequently asked questions about security freeze
A security freeze is a mechanism to prevent new account identity theft. Only a security freeze allows the consumer to limit access to his or her consumer reporting file.

The very short time period makes this a poor tool for ID theft prevention.

The fact that ice forms from the top down is lucky for fish and lucky for us - the ice acts as an insulator; and the heavier water at the bottom remains in its liquid form.
