Re: The video camera returns us to this social environment of personal accountability. This is a very interesting observation and in stark contrast to the Big Brother prophecies for video cam.

It bugs the heck out of me that the local 7/11 and most gas stations have video but airline cockpits don't. If minimum wage store clerks can be monitored to guard a few thousand bucks, why can't a $200K pilot be monitored to enhance the safety of 200 passengers? I design electronic controls that are certified to the EU safety standards (so called 'CE mark') and sign my name to a document which makes me liable to prison terms if the devices are later found to not comply with EU standards. Why every gun operators behaviour is not monitored for safety compliance is beyond me.
