We use these "tokens' currently to sign into our VPN, they do add greater
security, but honestly what they really do is create a better password so
I'm not sure that identity theft would be any different unless we somehow
adapted this technology to replace our SSN (i.e our SSN changes every 60
seconds). I doubt you'd want to carry a token for every system you did
business with.

<On 1 March 2005, E*Trade announced the 2Q05 availability of Digital
Security ID, a security program designed to protect a customer's
identity and account information from unauthorized access. Digital
Security ID uses RSA Security's SecurID, a small digital token device,
to provide U.S.-based retail customers with a random six-digit code that
changes every 60 seconds, making it far more difficult for unintended
users to log into an account. Digital Security ID will be initially
available at no cost to Power E*Trade customers (that is, E*Trade
customers who make at least 15 trades per quarter) and Priority E*Trade
customers (those with $50,000 or more in assets at E*Trade).>

Just wondering--if enough merchants signed onto a service like this,
could it be a solution for preventing identity theft on a global basis?
