Update on this issue. I recently wrote US about this, using the comment feature at their web site:

*Every* time I click a link to go to a new page at usairways.com, I see the
following message:

'This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.

Do you want to display the nonsecure items?'

Is there a setting I can change to eliminate this annoying message?

I found their reply to be disappointing:

When accessing our web page some users receive a warning box which states that
you have requested an insecure document. While certain portions of each page
are insecure, any information that is transmitted using the forms on our webpage
is encrypted before being sent. This security step assures you that a third
party does not have access to any information being transmitted via the
usairways.com page. When you receive this warning box, you can either click to
continue, or you can turn off the warning permanently by following the
instructions in the box for your particular web browser.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

In other words, deal with it. Surely there is a way to ensure a safe web site without introducing a pop-up prompt at each screen.

Does anyone know if there is a setting in Internet Explorer that can prevent this pop-up message?
