Default FedEx...Big Brother...

Just flew with someone who "shooshed" me and pointed at his mounted iPad, and said "they're always watching. Watch what you say. That's the bad thing about these things!" (Pointing at iPad camera)


Seriously?

If you wear a an aluminum foil hat, the new Flight Deck Pro can't read your thoughts.

It can still see your face, and detect a bad attitude. You need an aluminum hockey mask as well.

I recently flew with a guy who placed electrical tape over the front and back cameras of the iPad. I almost laughed, but then realized he was serious.

For many years they've been threatening to put cameras in the cockpit to assist in accident reconstruction purposes. Personally, I think it would be an excellent hat rack
