Federal regulators, including the Department of Transportation (DOT) and supported by Secretary Pete, have launched a new initiative to review the privacy practices of the top 10 airlines in the United States. This investigation aims to determine how airlines protect and handle passengers' personal information, and whether they are unfairly or deceptively making money by sharing this data with third parties. Figures such as Lina Khan of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Senator Ron Wyden have praised the initiative, highlighting the importance of allowing individuals to fly without sacrificing their personal privacy. The effort is part of the Biden Administration's broader agenda to strengthen privacy protections for airline passengers.
