OK, can somebody tell me what this is? I've seen it on many many flights. It's always on the port side business class bathroom on the 777. I don't know if it's in other bathrooms; I didn't see it in the center bathroom yesterday when I returned from LHR to JFK.

I expected something completely different based on the thread title

Cheers.

Oh, that's the "EJECT" button. I don't recommend pressing it.

It is a camera that turns on automatically when people try to join the mile high club.

A hole for the latch on the baby changing table?

That was my first thought, but I don't seem to see baby-changing table on the back wall of the lav in the pic...

Yeah, I was expecting something totally different when I read the thread title. Whew!

I'll guess it's an anchor point for something attached to the other side of the wall.

That's the adapter/connector for something called an "auto-eroticizer," an option on 777's, which AA chose not to install.

To my knowledge the only airline currently using the auto-eroticizer feature on its 777's is Japan Airlines.

Is it just a hole, or is there something in it? It could be a release switch for some of the plastic paneling.
