Just a gut feeling but I think she's lying. The rest of her suit makes it seem like she has a bone to pick with the pilots/airline.
Time will tell.
The problem is with todays technology anyone can do it.

Yes it's definitely possible, but part of her claim is that all airplanes had cameras in the bathroom.
Can't imagine Southwest even thinking about implementing it, or thousands of crew members not caring about it.

That is right. Wait until all of the upper levels are sold out and now expect close in seats for cheap.
Im pretty sure thats what happened to me last siyum. I was surprisedly close to the action than I expected and thats probably why.
Im barely paying attention to the problem here bc I bought my 36$ tickets months ago I didnt think it would be sold out so quick!

I have a feeling youre not going to miss out and will prob get a lower seat ad Ill wave at you from the nosebleeds..
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

The misaymim had a few weeks head start on stam balhabatim, as agudah gave out codes to all the shiurim to use to book early and book together. So who's fault is this exactly?
I'm not who you think I am.

"The filing states that Russell looked panicked and told her the cameras were a new top-secret security measure that had been installed in all Southwest Airlines planes, which Steinaker did not believe to be true."

Perhaps she didn't directly directly that all planes had it, but claiming that the pilot said it which is really absurd.

What is absurd?
She's claiming the pilots tried to say it wasn't them, it was Southwest. Obviously that's false and suspected it was them telling a lie.

If both pilots are in on it, why does he leave iPad on when she's there? She also claims that later on he used his hands to block the screen, as if a power button doesn't exist. Why do both pilots go the bathroom knowing that they're being watched? Why doesn't she check the bathroom for this supposed streaming camera, which despite her claims, would not be easy to hide in a tiny airplane bathroom where everyone touches everything. Why doesn't she release the evidence? Why does she happen to have a dozen other claims against unrelated to this incident?

Southwest says the pilot cracked a dumb joke to a disgruntled employee that wants to take advantage of it. That's the likely truth as I see it.

Not if he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.  :)

Hebrew article pointing out that while Barcelona is considered to have the best features of urban planning, Bnei Brak comes in with features idealized by modern planners, but that are there not by edict but rather as a part of natural features of the lifestyle: High density residential living yet to no residential hi-risers killing the skyline. High level of mixed use. High pedestrian accessibility. Low car ownership, high public transportation use.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Allegedly sick.
Just a gut feeling but I think she's lying. The rest of her suit makes it seem like she has a bone to pick with the pilots/airline.
Time will tell.
Still think she is lying?

The claim changed from "they took videos of me in the bathroom" to "they made me think they were taking videos of me in the bathroom". A bit different, don't you think?

It seems like the lawsuit was always claiming the latter, but the articles got it wrong.

The question was do you still think she is lying, not did the article get it wrong. AFAIK her claim has not changed.
