"This is your Captain... listening."

A Japan Airlines pilot has been arrested on suspicion of planting bugging devices at the house of a flight attendant with whom he once had a romantic relationship, it was learned Friday.

According to police, Masahiro Nomura, 39, installed two radio-transmitting concealed microphones in the woman's house in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, and eavesdropped on her from June 2002 to November.

The relationship between Nomura and the flight attendant, 34, ended in October. She later found the microphones in a plug and an electric socket in her living room. She contacted the police, and they seized a receiver from Nomura's house on Feb. 9. (more)
