bwah? isn't that against the privacy act or something?

It WOULD be, if this applied to national flights--but I think it's only applying to international. Lawyers would raise HELL if American Airlines tried to get away with it, thank godXD

Sounds like more of a PR stunt more than anything.

Yeah, I was also confused about how they will ban us from the internet. Oh wells. This is ridiculous, though. Silly silly silly.
