Passcodes needed to enter secure areas at 16 Japanese airports and one in Guam have appeared on the Internet after a 
virus infected a computer belonging to a Japan Airlines co-pilot, the airline said Friday.

The codes, which included those for Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports and an airport in the U.S. territory of Guam, 
are typically known to scores of airport workers who need to gain access to areas normally off limits to passengers, 
said Geoff Tudor, a spokesman for JAL in Tokyo.
