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)."

    Actually, that doesn't follow. Narrow mindedness is a reticence to entertain or consider other people's viewpoints if they differ from one's own. As far as I can tell, there's really no reason to assume that someone willing to give up privacy at an airport in the name of security is narrow-minded.

    If anything, *you* are being narrow minded in considering his viewpoint invalid. You're also right, of course. His viewpoint is in fact nonsense. Obviously he doesn't understand security at all. Sometimes the narrow-minded position is also the correct one. But being wrong and being narrow-minded are not the same thing at all.

    HTH.HAND.

    THIS is the kind of nonsense we have to stand up against, damnit! How is it that DHS can do something right out in the open that a private citizen can't do without being arrested and convicted as a sex offender???!? It's complete and utter bullshit and we have to say no to it!!!
