There are rumblings about the FAA wanting to require cameras in cockpits, in addition to the CVR's and FDR's, for 'accident investigation' purposes. The airline pilots are heavily against it, as it would be another tool for management to discipline pilots. Everything you did would be recorded on video for all to see. Management is not supposed to be able to use it for discipline purposes, but then they're not supposed to be able to use CVR tapes either, but they do. I'm not sure whether the very low percentage of the time the video would make a difference in an accident investigation justifies its use. Hiding it in a plastic bag won't make me any happier about it.
