As I understand Snapchat accounts CAN be set to "private". This one is not. And no "special hack" is necessary - clicking "record" and "save" on a Macintosh or iOS device is built-in. No different than recording a live broadcast off your TV.

There ARE passengers shown at about :44. Others have been removed apparently to avoid further privacy violations.

True.

The thread would be better to stay on the issue. Do you believe flight attendants/pilots/baggage handlers/ground maintenance/etc should be allowed to video and post videos WHILE WORKING? Do you believe passengers are entitled to some modicum of privacy from the airline employees that are charged with their safety and security?
