American Airlines is seeking to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by the family of a 14-year-old girl who found a hidden camera in a first-class bathroom on a flight from Charlotte to Boston.

Investigators found recordings of girls using the bathroom on other flights and hundreds of images of AI-generated child pornography on Thompson’s iCloud account.

While closing the lid did alter the trajectory of germs, the best way to reduce spread is by disinfecting the toilet, water, and nearby surfaces. Germs can linger for about 30 minutes after flushing, so it's advised to keep personal items away from the bathroom and avoid using your phone in there.
