Hidden camera reportedly found in bathroom onboard American Airlines flight
An alleged hidden camera was discovered in a bathroom onboard an American Airlines aircraft, and the FBI is now looking into the matter.
Massachusetts state police reported a “potential criminal act” that occurred on board an American Airlines flight that arrived at Boston Logan International Airport from Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 2. However, they stated that the event included a “juvenile, a flight attendant, and a cell phone.”

A passenger on the aircraft reported seeing a teenage girl try to use the first-class lavatory but being stopped by a male flight attendant. She was about to use the bathroom when he stopped her and said, “Hey hold on just a second, we’re about to start collecting trash so I am going to wash my hands,” the passenger recalled.
The girl then used the bathroom after the flight attendant had left. The traveler then claimed that he witnessed the teenager’s mother approach first class and stop another traveler from using the bathroom. And She said ‘don’t go in there,’” the passenger told.

When the Airbus A321 arrived on Saturday at 10 a.m., the Massachusetts State Police and FBI met it after responding to the complaint. The FBI is now in charge of the incident because a preliminary investigation revealed that a probable criminal act took place mid-flight.
A representative for American Airlines said the company was “very seriously” considering the allegation. The spokesperson went on to say that the airline was working with law enforcement but couldn’t go into more detail because the event was still being investigated.
