Northwest Gives Personal Data to NASA

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."

"Funny"

What does this comment have to do with Bush or Rumsfeld or the connection a police state?

A government agency asked a company to provide passenger data, and they seemingly lied about it. That's about it. The fault is with Northwest for not being more forthcoming about it.

The desperation to insert 'Bush/Rumsfeld/Ashcroft is evil' in every item shows how much the Left is falling further into irrelevancy.

You know, when someone does this is always slightly ticks me off. I don't have anything to hide either, yet you won't be getting my personal information because it is... Yes, PERSONAL. It's something that YOU as an outsider got nothing to to with. If you want it, you can go to some nasty place with brimstone and fire. My personal information simply isn't any of your concern.

Then again, by law I am supposed to carry around and ID at all times. Fair enough. So a police officer walks up to me and asks me for my ID. Then I will show it to him/her because, as a police officer enforcing the law in the country where I currently reside, I am obliged to do so. I might not be happy about it but hey, it's the law and I don't have anything to hide.

That isn't called "having something to hide", it's called "having something that isn't any of your damned concern". Go bother yourself with something that IS your concern.
