Declan,

For posting - the message below now pops up whenever any Continental Airlines 
“One Pass” member logs in to their One Pass account from the Internet.  I feel 
better already - first Continental declares that ALL One Pass member personal 
data is "proprietary," then they remind One Pass members that they have somehow 
already "consented" to allow Continental to share their personal data with 
anyone without restriction.
