As airlines begin resuming service amid the coronavirus pandemic, two of the major issues they’ve seemingly struggled with are social distancing and face mask requirements. Soon, these companies may be using cameras to catch people not following the new rules. At least two companies have revealed they have been in talks with airlines about implementing cameras with video detection software to identify individuals either not wearing masks and/or not practicing social distancing, Forbes reports. Airlines — at least the ones we have spoken to — are fully invested in actually enforcing mask-wearing in general. Instead, airports could use the cameras simply to gather data and track where travelers aren’t practicing social distancing.
