By whom? There is no such thing as privacy when traveling via commercial air travel what you are saying is utter nonsense.

Law enforcement and intelligence agencies already have access to your travel itinerary, identification documents, biometric data and surveillance footage from the airport these cameras would add nothing of value.

Please re-read my first comment, as I feel like we are talking past each other. You are talking about generalized surveillance; I presented a specific example of how this particular technology can be used in my first post. The obvious truism that law enforcement agencies have access to a wide array of traveler information has no bearing on the fact that, as I said in my first comment, a bored passenger or flight attendant could use the system to peep on passengers depending on what 'never been activated' means.
