The AA privacy policy says that you should keep your record locator confidential so it's odd that AA would Tweet it. But the privacy policy specifically allows use of it:

"to complete transactions and fulfill requests for our products and services."

So I don't think you have any claim against AA. Such is life in the US (unlike in the EU).
