So the next time I log into united.com from an inernet cafe, if I forget to close the browser, the next person who does the same might find himself looking at my information. Makes me VERY confident about united.com web security.
Hard to blame united.com for this: it's using cookies and they're still there when you walk away from the browser.
They have a
log out option; use it. Esp in an internet cafe (which isn't safe anyway, since people can and do install keyloggers on such machines).
