Lots of you are probably aware of the ruckus surrounding JetBlue's secret contribution of passenger data to a pentagon contractor. The project was intended to help the government sort out its policy prevent undesirables from traveling within the US by assigning color codes (Democrats and other miscreants will presumably be coded RED and shot at the checkin counter).
The CNN story about this thing is here (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TRAVEL/09/19/bi.jetblue.privacy.ap/index.html)
Now here's the punchline...
If you go to C|Net (news.com.com) and click on one of the "roll video" links, the video window that opens has a prominent Unisys flash ad that says "Unisys helped JetBlue do something unique with their data". If you click on the ad, you get a little Flash animation showing cattle and red people being sorted at an airport.
Wanna bet this ad gets pulled on Monday?
