Geeks are afraid of bathing, and thus want soap, shampoo, and other normal cleaning implements to look bad. This is just a pathetic attempt to justify their unconscionable stench. Just take a bath already!
Of course this is a security problem.... by shr3k · 2002-03-17 13:01 · Score: 2, Funny

Someone asks you to pick up the bar of soap off of the shower floor. You bend over to pick it up... BAM!... your security is breached.

This has been a known issue amongst the prison vendors for years... None of them have done anything about it yet, though.

Except that I was referring only to the article and not to the spec, which I clearly stated in my comment. Which I'm sure you read from start to finish.
