Five year total includes 76 Social Security Administration cases (all in FY 2002) and 108 INS cases (105 in FY 2002) which appear to be more properly classified under indentity theft and immigration.
Thus, half or more of FY 2002 prosecutions concerned anti-terrorism efforts on identity theft/immigration matters.
