Airlines spy on passengers

多家航企座椅装摄像头

Three of the world's biggest airlines have admitted some of their planes have cameras installed on the backs of passenger seats. American Airlines, United Airlines and Singapore Airlines have new seat-back entertainment systems that include cameras. They could also be on planes used by other carriers.

全球最大的三家航空公司已承认，部分飞机的乘客座椅靠背安装了摄像头。美国航空公司、联合航空公司和新加坡航空公司的新型座椅靠背娱乐系统中装有摄像头。其他航空公司的飞机上也可能安装了类似系统。

A passenger on a Singapore flight tweeted a photograph last week of the seat-back display, prompting other air travelers to voice concerns about their privacy at 30,000 ft. Vitaly Kamluk, who photographed the camera on his flight, suggested that carriers should cover the lenses with stickers and said it would be easy for airlines to monitor passengers with them.

Companies that make the entertainment systems are fitting them with cameras to offer passengers options such as seat-to-seat video conferencing, according to an American Airlines spokesman.

美国航空公司的一位发言人说，生产娱乐系统的公司安装摄像头是为了方便乘客之间进行视频会议。
