Two Major Airlines Admit to Undisclosed Cameras in Aircraft
Entertainment Systems
Even cruising through the sky, the possibility of a digital privacy
invasion remains. Two entertainment systems used by Singapore Airlines and
American Airlines were recently discovered to have outward-facing cameras. Both
airlines failed to notify passengers that their aircraft entertainment systems
were equipped with such devices, but the carriers insist the cameras were never
activated, BuzzFeed News reports.
A recent discovery was made by a savvy passenger, who spotted the
small lens immediately beneath the screen monitor on the seat in front of him on
a Singapore Airlines flight. Vitaly Kamluk tweeted photos of his finding, which
drew a fair amount of engagement online.
Singapore Airlines responded to his pictures on Twitter, writing:
"These cameras have been disabled on our aircraft, and there are no plans to
develop any features using the cameras. Thank you."
