Airbus, the European jet manufacturer, is planning to build concealed cameras into the light fittings above the seats in its aircraft. The idea is to let the crew monitor passengers and spot hijackers before they strike. The cameras also work in the dark.

The move is part of an attempt to reassure people who have been frightened off flying since the 11 September attacks.
