4 More Airlines Gave Data to U.S., TSA Says

From Times Wire Reports

More airlines than previously disclosed gave personal data on passengers to the government for testing a computerized background-check project, said acting Transportation Security Administration chief David Stone.

Information was obtained from at least two computerized reservation systems, Sabre and Galileo International, and from four additional airlines: Delta, Continental, America West and Frontier, Stone said in testimony during a Senate panel hearing on his nomination as TSA chief.

Northwest, JetBlue and American have been criticized for handing over such data.
