American Airlines Information Gathering

Posted by samzenpus on from the can-you-use-fake-names dept.

matt-fu writes "Cory Doctorow posted a story on boingboing.net this morning describing a recent hassle while flying American Airlines. It seems that since he was traveling from the UK to the US with a Canadian passport, he was actually asked to give out the names and addresses of everyone he would be staying with in the US! He has written an open letter to AA in response. Has anyone else had something like this happen to them?"

    As my mother once said, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. That was approximately 48 hours before she called me up begging for computer help. ;-)
