The FBI has launched an investigation after a teenage girl and her parents claim an American Airlines
flight attendant left a cellphone in the toilet of an aircraft that recorded the girl as she used it.
The girl’s parents believe she was filmed in the first-class restroom during American Airlines flight 1441 traveling from Charlotte to Boston on Sept. 2. The parents sent photos of the device affixed to a toilet seat to the New York Post through their family lawyer.
“I think there’s a real feeling of violation. I think as a teenage girl, she’s a little bit embarrassed that something so intimate as going to the bathroom would be filmed this way,” the teen’s father told the New York Post.
The image shows a cellphone secured to the toilet lid beneath a “seat broken” sign, with the phone’s camera flash apparently activated. The Massachusetts State Police reported a “potential criminal act” during the flight, passing the investigation to the FBI due to its jurisdiction over domestic flight crimes.
