Why modern aircraft have no cameras?

Aircraft rarely collide with any objects. Cameras would only be helpful if the extent of the damage is visible from the outside. Instruments, on the other hand, can be used to diagnostic the problem even if the system fails internally. E.g. Many hydraulic lines and cables run across the wing.

In the United States, as long as you are legally able to be where you are positioned — and the act you're recording is public and plainly visible from your vantage point — you've got the right to record it.

Firearms, ammunition, and fireworks are prohibited, as are all knives and safety razors (including pocket knives and Swiss Army knives). Straight razors and replacement blades for straight razors are also not allowed. Most tools also cannot be packed in carry-on luggage, as they have the potential to cause harm.

Pilots must be able to turn off transponders, and sometimes must turn them off for safety reasons.

The cockpit door automatically locks, but a keypad outside allows a flight attendant to insert a security code to gain access. A buzzer sounds, and the pilots must switch the door control inside the cockpit to “unlock” to release the door after verifying the crew member through a peephole or video surveillance.

Yes, the pilots can open the cockpit windows in aircraft like the A320. When the aircraft is on the ground and unpressurised it is quite easy. In flight the side windows can be opened but only in an emergency and if the aircraft is fully depressurised and speed is below 200 knots.

Depends on the aircraft, but more often than not, on airliners the answer is no. Although they are thoroughly inspected by ground crews (and sometimes flight crews) prior to flight, once in the cockpit, the flight crew will not need to see the wings or engines.

Film can most definitely get altered/damaged by scanners. It just depends on how sensitive the film is. Lower speed film (which is what you used) can handle scans absolutely fine. Even 800 ISO Film can go through a scanner multiple times until you see the slightest bit of fogging if you're lucky.

Modern-day technology on commercial airliners is so good that air traffic control can track the aircraft's position even when it's flying over an ocean.

Under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), a pilot typically has to rely on visual identification of other traffic himself/herself. Optionally a VFR pilot can request radar flight-following services and get traffic advisories but ATC is not required to provide that service if they're too busy.

MORE DETAILS

A pilot may not use his or her phone for non-flight related tasks during takeoff, landing, or while flying under 10,000. Upon reaching cruising altitude the pilot is free to use their phone at their own discretion. This is, however, the FAA policy so for commercial pilots it may vary company to company.

Because the TSA considers the nut spread a liquid, plane passengers must limit the amount they bring in their carry-ons. Like all other liquids, passengers are limited to 3.4 oz or less of peanut butter in their carry-on bag, but can also put the snack in their checked baggage.

Toothpaste is considered a liquid by the TSA (Transport Security Agency), even though it's technically a paste. In fact, all pastes, gels, waxes, and lotions are also classified as liquids. And even today, these substances are still restricted by the 3-1-1 rule in hand luggage due to safety threats.

MORE DETAILS

In short, the 3-1-1 rule is: Each liquid you bring through the TSA checkpoint must be in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container (3), all containers must be placed inside one clear quart-size plastic bag (1) and each passenger is only allowed one plastic bag (1).
