See above. All the info will be accessible, as those devices are simplicity itself to hack, and once in, they will have your life.



Right. Target wasn't hacked, Sony wasn't hacked, the IRS wasn't hacked. I'm sure United is on top of things.

The point is this is entirely UNNECESSARY. We have all these cool devices to save 4 seconds of time while surrendering our privacy. United FAs don't NEED this info, and customers are better off if they don't have it. If you want to give up your privacy and information, fine. But I should have the right to say HELL NO.
