Can airlines be trusted with personal data?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/n...-compensation/

In a disturbingly frequent occurrence, a data hack exposed BA customers to a huge potential financial loss.
Given Qantas and SACL has a deal in place to both capture and utilise personal bio metric data using facial recognition technology, without any legislation to sanction use, storage and exploitation, the question must be asked:
Why does the Australian parliament even permit two almost monopoly entities to do this without any safeguards? Given the BA 'security' has been exposed as compromised why would Australia permit such a personal invasion of privacy without at least ensuring safeguards are in place?
