Smile! Urine Candid Camera!

Anon E. Muss writes "Just because you can put a camera somewhere doesn't mean you should. Apparently, the Department of Homeland Security doesn't grasp this concept. They've installed video cameras in urinals at Houston's Hobby Airport. At least they weren't sneaky about it — they posted a notice saying 'Automatic infrared flush sensors also provide video monitoring for security purposes.' (Insert bad joke about bashful bladder syndrome here)."

    My god they named an airport after him? Will the insanity ever end?

    Hah!
    Everyone knows women spell things correctly, so you're clearly a man.

    It's "Per se", not "Par se".

    Almost had me fooled there.

    You forgot, that also at least five people will try to "befriend" you and kiss your ass (in both meanings of the term). ^^

    I, for one, fix that little rule of Slashdot like this:
    There are no good looking women on Slashdot. Just as there are no good looking men here. ^^
    (But I've seen some pretty hot (wo)manbearpigs around here. :P)

    That's not true either. :P Doubtful that anyone will believe me, but I get complimented on my looks fairly frequently, and have the height and figure (but not the breasts v.v) of the average American model. But maybe there are just no good looking straight women on slashdot. >.>

    Of course, now that I've said that, the Law of Inverse Sexual Attraction states that the number of people trying to "befriend" me must now increase exponentially.

    Well. If I understand you correctly, you said that you are not straight. Well... I should have known it. :))
    So about the befriendings... I think they will drop off rather quickly. :P

    I bet you are the guy in the relationship*. :)

    * I want to add, that I do not mean this in any bad way. I was actually befriended to a girl who was the guy in the relationship (with another girl), *and* the head of a lesbian association. ^^ (I said "was" because she cheated on the other girl, which was unacceptable to me. :( )
    Oh, and she also had below-average breasts. Fortunately I am not attracted at all by breasts. No idea why. For me it's many other body parts. :)

    Actually, there is no "guy" in our relationship. Assuming you meant "person who takes charge/responsibility/control," that role is shared equally between us. If you meant to imply that I was "butch," however, I'll tell you that I am quite "femme," as is my partner. ;)

    Yay! Someone's being a dick in response to an informative post. I suppose that should be expected, this is Slashdot.

    6000 years ago, a bunch of old rabbis decided that, since their flabby bodies were no match against the young squirts' bodies who picked-up all the young chicks, they should prevent people from being naked.

    Oddly enough, 8000 years later, the silly notion that you should hide your peepee from others still lingers around.

    It's not about identification in that way, it's about finding the short dicked fuckers who have problems getting and keeping pussy. Those are the ones who have a lot of rage built up and will commit terrorists acts in general.

    So this is change we can believe in. Instead of water boarding known terrorists, we are going after everyone with a small pecker. You see, all those nude picture at abu ghraib showed a pattern of short dicks and rejections that was later verified at club gitmo with the smallest of peckers belonging to terrorist who have resumed terrorist activities after their release. Now instead of having to torture terrorist bent on killing you or someone you know, we just round up the small peckered people and not worry too much about it.
