Airline Passenger Conversations to be Recorded to Foil Hijackers?

I had to read this article a couple of times just to be sure that this wasn't a joke.

I think these people are out of their minds -- how much will airline passengers take before they just stop flying?

David Millward writes in The Telegraph (UK):

Researchers in Britain and Europe are looking at technology that would see a comprehensive network of microphones and cameras installed throughout the aircraft, including the lavatory, which would be linked to a computer.
