Northwest Gives Personal Data to NASA

Posted by michael on from the lie-in-the-sky dept.

Tree writes "Following four months on the heels of JetBlue's confession that they released passenger data to the Feds against their stated privacy guidelines, the Washington Post is reporting that Northwest has now admitted that they've done the same thing during a time period when they said they weren't. Nice. They were once my favorite airline."

    I was sure the submitter meant the NSA but looking at the story it really was NASA.

    Are they going to be sharing this info with the Martian Immigration Service?

    We're sending you to Mars because of your ties to terrorist groups. Nothing personal, you understand, right?

    We do not live in a police state. The Government trusts us. Donald Rumsfeld is infallable. All hail Bush.

    Really, the FBI can come over and arrest me, the NSA can deploy a task force in the North Sea standing by to obliberate most of Northern-Europe and the CIA can drug my beer but not the NASA! Dear Eris, they might decide to drop that Saturn V on my house, do you have any idea how much that blasted things weighs?
