Hidden bathroom camera on American flight triggers FBI investigations. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched an investigation into a hidden camera in an American Airlines First Class restroom during a flight.
The camera was discovered on a journey from Charlotte to Boston on Saturday morning, and the Feds have acknowledged that they are looking into a “potential criminal act” onboard American Airlines flight 1441.
No further information regarding the inquiry has been released at this time, although sources suggest that the camera was discovered in the lavatory immediately after a young girl walked inside.
One passenger on the trip told a local TV station that the girl’s mother came sprinting along the aisle and stopped another woman from entering the toilet, warning her that she thought there was a camera in there.
