Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 20, 2003 @07:52AM from the please-turn-off-electronic-surveillance-devices dept.

NormalVisual writes "According to this article, Southeast Airlines will begin digitally recording everything that goes on during one of their flights. Moreover, they have said they will be retaining the recorded video for up to 10 years. The privacy implications here are worrying, and this sets a bad precedent, IMO." (Southeast is a charter company, not a big scheduled carrier.)

because they allowed muslims into the country. In retrospect they should never have been admitted - they are more trouble than it's worth. In fact they are closest humans can get to being mad dogs.

Boot out all the muslims and these problems will be instantly solved. No terrorists, no loss of rights, etc....

Nice, except that THEIR planes fly through OUR airspace.

They do not like our privacy laws, don't fly our airspace.
