This new airplane model will know when you've unbuckled your seatbelt

Travelers know there is very little privacy when it comes to air travel. Before passengers are even allowed to board an aircraft, they have to shed their jackets, take off their shoes, and walk through an X-ray contraption that scans their entire bodies. As flyers settle into their (usually rigid and uncomfortable) seats, the active surveillance seems to end there. But in a few years, Airbus's latest "connected cabin" aircraft experience might change that. The innovation, which was revealed in September, will let flight attendants survey the cabin more closely by employing sensors in the lavatory and cabin, Time reported.
