Expensive "accident"
Travelocity pays a hefty fine for allowing its system to book flights to Cuba.
Travelocity was fined nearly $183,000 for booking roughly 1,400 Cuba trips between 1998 and 2004....Travelocity blamed the 1,458 violations on technical issues that were corrected years ago.

But of course. What did you think, that they might be amoral, profiteering opportunists? Perish the thought.

That measly fine is back pocket change for Travelocity.
What a joke.

Measly unless the US starts prosecuting American tourists using these electronic transactions that are easily traced.

Thast fine amounts to less than $1.50 per illegal trip arrangement. It's not just a joke, it's a BAD joke.

I meant to say less than $150 per trip, but it's still a joke.
