[omaha] Fwd: Hack Omaha Update

[James Drake]

Another idea for getting names of deceased former residents of Omaha. Once
someone dies there Social Security numbers become public. Perhaps their
last known addresses do too. It might be possible (if it's not affected by
the partial shutdown) do filter the residents of Omaha who died in the last
few decades from the SS database.
