Airlines spy on passengers
多家航企座椅裝攝像頭
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認，部分飛機的乘客座椅靠背安裝了攝像頭。美國航空公司、聯合航空公司和新加坡航空公司的新型座椅靠背娛樂系統中裝有攝像頭。其他航空公司的飛機上也可能安裝了類似系統。
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.
上周，一位乘坐新加坡航空公司航班的乘客在推特上傳了一張座椅靠背顯示屏的照片，在乘客中引發了熱議，大夥紛紛表達了對3萬英尺高空飛行中個人隱私的擔憂。拍攝航班攝像頭照片的乘客維塔利•卡姆盧克建議說，航空公司應該用貼紙蓋住攝像頭，有了攝像頭，航空公司很容易監控乘客一舉一動。
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.
美國航空公司的一位發言人說，生産娛樂系統的公司安裝攝像頭是爲了方便乘客之間進行視頻會議。
Inactivity ages the brain

Previous studies have found that long periods of inactivityhave adetrimentalaffect on brainpower and research shows similar results for those who watched more than two hours of television a day.
