Delta, United Airlines Cause Furor With New Practice

Delta, American, and United Airlines have sparked a furor due to a new report about their alleged data practices.

404 Media, with support from WIRED, made the revelation in a June 10 story.

"A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected U.S. travellers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and then as part of the contract told CBP to not reveal where the data came from," the site reported.
