United Airlines covers the cameras installed in its in-flight entertainment systems

Some airlines have a camera installed in its in-flight entertainment systems. While these haven’t been used or offered as a service (for video chats), doesn’t mean they don’t raise concerns of some privacy-conscious fliers. That’s why United Airlines decided to cover these cameras up with stickers to alleviate concerns of fliers that someone might be watching through these cameras. The American airline said they have never activated these cameras and they don’t plan to in the future. But they wanted to take the extra step of covering the cameras. A spokesperson for United said, “The cameras are a standard feature that manufacturers of the system included for possible future purposes such as video conferencing."
