Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights

Posted by timothy on 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.)

    Not really a problem - they just wanted it filmed. Open up a web site devoted to mile-high orgy video and make some extra cash on the side... new business strategy.

    When I was a kid, they used to have cameras on our school busses. Nobody was really sure whether they were 'on' or not. The bus drives used to use it as leverage so we didn't screw around.

    When I was a kid, we have nuns.

    Same things, more lethal.
