BOSTON: The family of a North Carolina teenager is suing American Airlines, saying that a flight attendant taped an iPhone to an airplane toilet to record her using the restroom during a September flight.

Lawyers for the 14-year-old and her parents say that American Airlines “knew or should have known the flight attendant was a danger”. They say the failure of other crew members to confiscate the employee’s phone allowed him to destroy evidence.
