Let me take a moment to remind everyone that OTG is the monopolistic food distributor that puts ipads as sales points in _all_ seating at the gates in JFK - not just the restaurant seating. If you want to sit at your gate, you must be advertised to.

When I've turned the ipad around or covered the ipad's camera with a napkin, a worker has come by and forced me to face the ipad's camera back at me, even if I'm not buying anything. Dystopian.

Say no and keep sitting there. Will police be called?

This sort of thing is a big part of why flying is simply hell.

Time to start carrying a bit of electrical tape to put over the cameras.
