Why do I have to put my purse and laptop bag on the floor when the stalls have a 2-foot gap above the floor so anybody could reach under and yank my stuff away while I'm "going"?
Taking your #2 a bit farther - Many gripe about walking shoeless through security. However, the restroom floors in airports are the place I would never dare walk shoeless and I'd really prefer not to put my luggage on it either. Not talking rollerboards but the backpack style I use, and I would assume purses for most women. I've seen some terribly disgusting things in a men's room and I pray that women aren't nearly as unpleasant or disrespectful in their public restrooms.
