American Airlines recently found themselves in hot water after blaming a 9-year-old girl for not noticing that she was being recorded by a flight attendant in a bathroom. As I read through the reactions and comments on this shocking news, I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of disbelief, anger, and frustration towards the airline’s response. Blaming a child, who was simply using the restroom on a flight, for not being vigilant enough to detect a hidden camera is not only outrageous but also a prime example of victim-blaming at its worst.
It seems as though American Airlines is attempting to shift the blame away from their employee and onto the innocent child to avoid legal liability.… Continue reading
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stumbled upon the news that over 100 hidden-camera videos, predominantly of Navy sailors, were uploaded to a porn site. Having worked on USS ships as a civilian in the past, I know firsthand the camaraderie and trust that exist within the naval community. So, learning about such despicable acts of invasion of privacy and exploitation left me deeply disturbed.

As I sit down to contemplate the sentencing of the US woman who stole Ashley Biden’s diary and the consequent one-month prison term she received, I can’t help but feel a sense of irony and injustice lingering in the air.

I find it perplexing that the woman, Harris, initially sought house arrest as her punishment, only to later face the repercussions of her own actions and end up behind bars.… Continue reading
As I read the shocking news about a Royal Caribbean cruise employee who was arrested after a hidden camera was found in a guest bathroom on the Symphony of the Seas, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief and disgust. The fact that this individual, identified as Mirasol, not only installed a hidden camera but also admitted to sneaking into rooms and hiding under the bed while guests were showering to record them naked is beyond disturbing. It’s a violation of privacy and a complete breach of trust.
The thought of someone invading my personal space in such a way while I am on a cruise, a place where one expects relaxation and enjoyment, is truly unsettling.… Continue reading
