JetBlue is Seeing Red Over Privacy Violation Lawsuit

A Utah Judge refused JetBlue’s request to dismiss a class action law suit that charges that the privacy of more than 1 million passengers' were violated by the airline. JetBlue admitted that in September 2002 it gave passenger data to Torch Concepts of Huntsville, Ala., after being told the information would be analyzed to help protect military bases from terrorist attack. The lawsuit charges that the airline violated its own privacy policy in sharing the information, which it now says was never used and eventually destroyed.
