Subject: More on Airline Passenger Profiling for Profit

Dave,

Some people think that profiling will eventually become the primary
source of airline profit.

Consider this recent vision of the future of air travel........

"In a decade or so, airlines will pay travellers to distribute people
around Europe. The airline industry is like Tesco, Ikea, or network
television where viewers watch for nothing and advertisers pay for
access to them. Web companies earn money when they deliver click
traffic to other sites."

The source: Michael O'Leary, highly-opinionated CEO of Ryanair, the
successful European budget carrier.  (See
