Creepy airline

Southeast Airlines plans to install cameras in all of its planes and videotape its passengers. The tapes may be stored for upwards of ten years and may be combined with face recognition software. I find this more than just a little creepy. Will they have cameras in the bathrooms? Will this really help fight terrorism? Luckily, they are just a small charter airline that should be easy to avoid. What if major carriers adopt this? The ever present citizen surveillance of "1984" is becoming a reality.
