Memo: from Ken Senzig
To: mecran01.4310@blogger.com

Due to the unethical activity of Jet blue your personal information has
been given away. In September of 2002, JetBlue Airways secretly gave
the Transportation Security Administration and Torch Concepts (now
doing business as Torch Technologies) the Social Security number, date
of birth, and associated credit histories of many of the 5 million
passengers in the JetBlue database. Some of this information,
including SSNs, was posted by Torch Concepts to the Internet. The
document was freely available for download on the Internet for over six
months and was taken down on the 17th of September, 2003. This
sensitive travel data was then turned-over to a private security
contractor for analysis, the results of which were presented at a
security conference earlier this year and then posted on the Internet.
Let’s look at the rights of the individuals to be secure in private
information. This information could be damaging if it fell into the
wrong hands. This violated the welfare of the individual.
Utility is concerned with the effects on the public and this info can
have a harmful effect on individuals
Care is the relationship we have to other individuals and this creates
a negative relationship with Jet blue
I have traveled JetBlue from phoenix to John Wayne airport so I have
better watch my credit info.
