    It would appear that American Airlines' security problems aren't the
    exception...they're the rule.

    Subject: aa.com not encrypting customer transaction data
    
    Looks like aa.com (American Airlines) is NOT encrypting customer data for
    purchasing e-tickets.
    Hopefully this isn't still the case by the time this posts.
    This hold true for both Advantage login and non-members as well.
    At no time did I get a redirect to an SSL server for my session.
    
    Taking a peek at the "Passenger Details" page source, no where do you find
    "https" or ":443", hmm.
    Next I make a phony submission and low and behold this is what I grabbed:
    " f o r m % C I _ C r e d i t C a r d T o U s e _ C a
     r d N u m b e r "   v a l u e = " 4 3 2 3 5 0 1 9 8 3 5 1 9 9 9 9 "
    
    I've made serveral phone calls to aa.com and generated a few e-mail. 
    I can't convince them I'm wrong, so I bring it to this forum.
