On March 21, 2024, U.Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a pioneering privacy review focusing on the nation's top ten airlines. This initiative, led by the Department of Transportation (DOT), aims to scrutinize how airlines manage and utilize passengers' personal data. While many airlines consider themselves exempt from privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), concerns have risen about whether they are adequately protecting personal information from misuse, including unauthorized sharing with third parties or for profit.
