They will find a way to expand it into bedroom, in the name of safety and security of course. Such is the way freedom and liberty work in "democracy" under monarchs.

While one must regard any increase in surveillance techniques with suspicion, it is not accurate to equate all CCTV cameras with "being watched". Most cameras are not monitored in real time - there wouldn't be enough hours in the day or people in the world to do this! What I find more worrying is the removal of road speed cameras in Britain - the statistics on accidents from early experiments on this are - not surprisingly - far from encouraging.

Actually the reality is that this idea is sinister because the argument that it would help safety is laughable because you are already x-rayed in a very intrusive and almost criminal manner before boarding.The reality is that these new suggestions will make the manufacturers of the devices more profit while they give a kickback to both the lobby group and money to the boffins for more orwellian research. This idea is also very sinister because anybody suffering any type of social anxiety or phobia or illness will be discriminated and interrogated by the gestapo when they get off the aircraftsimply because they look or behave differently from correct robot behaviour such as a happy smile like you are on the oprah winfrey show in correct middle class posture and dress etc...yep they just keep pushing it more and more..PURE EVIL

People like sevodny_net is the reason why people like Hitler rose to power.

Quite apart from the privacy issues, the saturation of CCTV in the UK has brought about a situation where controllers sit in some central location, watching crimes taking place but there are not enough police on the ground to actually do anything about it. Criminals were initially scared of CCTV and there was a reduction in crime in city centres but now they know all they need to do is hide their faces and they are unlikely to ever face prosecution. I predict that the in-flight surveillance will only ever be used against rowdy drunken passengers and I would bet money that the systems will never be used to apprehend any terrorists, much like all the other intrusive security measures introduced over the last ten years.

"They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never grasped the enormity of what was being demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening" - Winston Smith in the novel 1984 Our civil and human rights are being eroded. We are being desensitised to that Orwellian horror of being under constant surveillance. How long before WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
