What's the big deal? Companies have been capturing, storing, using and sharing your personal information since way before the Internet. Sure today that information flows more easily and if companies and people don't make some reasonable efforts to secure the information it will leak and may lead to problems for those people such as Identity Theft.

I don't think these privacy statements are any good because most companies are taking steps to protect information but anyone who reads Security Focus should know Information Security is not a thing and it can't be Guaranteed. I don't like the catch 22 language in the policy but what else would you recommend?

Remember these are Airlines - remember the planes that slammed into buildings in our country? I think I'd give up a few privacy rights to ensure I live through the flight.
