Homeland Security and Restroom Video Monitoring
From another blog:
Acute airport-urinal observer . . . catches this unlikely warning posted in a men’s restroom at the newish Southwest Airlines terminal at Hobby. The text below the Dept. of Homeland Security logo at the top of the urinal reads: Automatic infrared flush sensors also provide video monitoring for security purposes. * * * The camera appeared to be in the same panel that carried the flush sensor… a brushed metal panel with an oval shaped dark transparent glass with a red on it. . . . And this panel was located just above the urinal itself. Given how close the user of the urinal would be to the flush sensor and camera, it’s probably designed to monitor people walking in/out/around the bathroom, not the user of the urinal. But still freaky! |
Now there’s a fun urinal target!
A bit discriminatory though; the ladies should have a chance to pee on the DHS as well. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...83bd73kd7r.jpg |
it's gotta be a prank, no?
if not, pretty scary but i certainly know what i'm gonna do to the little camera when i see it. yes a bodily function or "2" ;) but also a nice close-up of my laptop screen showing this: http://thecleverest.com/countdown.swf |
Surely there must be a FT'er who can confirm the existance of this...thing? |

It could be in the area after the aircraft and before customs. They do monitor you in that area to make sure you're not hiding/disposing of anything.
added: Nevermind.. re-read article and saw its in the SW area. Its possible the sticker may have been put there when it should've gone in the pre-customs area. |

Or cruising for gay men. :td: Somehow "chilling effect" seems such a weak phrase right about now... |
Aren't video voyers arrested for this kind of behavior?

<SNIP> I took the photograph at Hobby Airport last week on Wednesday with my iPhone... so while it might have been someone's prank, the sticker was there.
Did you happen to notice what kind of material the label was made out of? |
