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.
