Senators Want JetBlue Probe


Wired News: Senators Want JetBlue Probe after JetBlue violated its own privacy policy and released passenger data, without notifying those passengers, to Pentagon contractor Torch Concepts for a security study.

Governmental Affairs Committee chairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine), ranking member Joe Lieberman (D-Connecticut) and Armed Services Committee ranking member Carl Levin (D-Michigan) wrote Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, asking whether the Pentagon complied with the Privacy Act, which requires that government agencies and their contractors notify the public when a system of records is created.
