What a waste of money. Even school system architects know that you prevent undesired behavior in the crappers by removing the doors.

Great report Daphne!! My question would be, if the stalls go all the way to the bottom what's preventing two people from entering the stall and having their fun? Maybe the people will employ a Morse code of tapping on stall walls to signify availability.

If this happens, who does it really harm, they have privacy, they aren't offending anyone, so is this legal, can you pair off in a public bathroom as long as you aren't disturbing your fellow compootriots? If an officer took it upon himself to look over the stall wall would he not in fact be invading your privacy? I think an easier idea would be to put up FAKE cameras (they have them) and put up a big sign indicating the area is under 24 hour surveillance, people still have their privacy but it will discourage, maybe not stop all activity of a sexual nature at a fraction of the cost.

A Couple of things to clear up...first, the Minneapolis/St.Paul Airport should, in fact, be called the Minneapolis/Mendota Heights Airport...and St. Paul should never, ever, have to bear the shame of Minneapolis. The only good thing about that airport is its the fastest way out of that fucking hole, Minneapolis.

Wait a second Bilge. I think an even more pressing issue is how they get the price of $25K to have a partition to the floor. Thats an extra FOOT of material. Why dont they just get some sheetrock at $50-$60 dollars a sheet you only need a foot so maybe you can do TWO stalls with one sheet. Shit THEN you could do 80 bathrooms with 40 sheets at the low low cost of $2400. Where are they getting these partitions from? Someone doesnt know how to price materials. Are they made of titanium? Even if they are graffiti proof someone still needs to get a better price

You can't use sheet rock in bathroom stalls, TTC. It has to be something moisture-proof, but I agree that tile board (which is even cheaper than sheet rock) would be a cheaper fix.

Daph, this was an excellent Newswire.

Bunga, fake cameras will expose you to increased liability in some circumstances.

This will never do. You need to think like a bureaucrat in order to appreciate the possibilities. First, get some third worlder to stand by the door and check ID. Make sure that everybody entering the bathroom is either an employee or a ticketed passenger. Install metal detectors and x-ray machines. And, of course, make them take their shoes off before entering. Don't forget to add an extra $11 per ticket for administration of this new safety protocol.

How about having everybody fill out a form before entering stating that they will not tap their feet on the floor while setting on the turder? Then the patrons could at least wipe their ass with their copy of the signed form, saving the taxpayers a bundle on TP.

this site gets worse all the time

Somewhere, George Carlin is weeping with joy. He doesn't know why. He just knows somewhere, somehow, someone has said something he'd agree with. And Deja Poo is that person.

See thats what I'm sayin here Dumpster there MUST be a cheaper way and ONCE AGAIN state govt has NOT chosen that route. I am sure if we all put our heads together we could come up with a way cheaper solution and if tileboard is cheaper you could do all of the stalls and still come out way ahead in this game. Geez. So Tileboard is one solution come on peeps lets get some more and maybe we should submit this page to the state of 10,000 lakes for their perusal.

Take the damn stall doors off. It's cheaper, and will eliminate all problems

Thunderous, they could have used the same steel that makes the partitions, and instead of making whole, new, 7-foot high partitions, they could have made 1-foot high ones and bracketed them in place. Is this what you mean? An add-on instead of a whole new piece?

Someone should write a letter to the editor suggesting that.

See Daph you're right on the money! I dont know HOW they can get $25K out of 1 foot extensions! I'd like to see em try though. Im tellin ya our ideas rock we should send this page to the editor or better yet the airport commission or whoever runs the airport. What do you think Dave? I think these suggestions are all good except for my sheet rock one.

This kind of reminds me of a friend Mr. daphne had in the military. He told me about some of the jobs he'd heard about that were employed at the Pentagon. One of them was Official Ketchup Tester. That's crazy.

Deja Poo, I love your wit and wisdom. Never lose it! You are one of the reasons I came back.

On topic, $25,000 is cheap for a state government repair. In Oregon it would be at least $300,000 and they'd raise property taxes (again) to pay for it all.

But Daphne is right. If they are trying to discourage this sort of bathroom behavior (which no one should give a rat's ass about), then why make it harder to be seen inside the stall?

What if everyone farted at once?

Fantastic idea!!! Make the stalls even more private. The things people come up with....sheeesh
Producing waste since 1967

Any modifications should not be needed in the first place.

Adults know right from wrong, and should have enough common sense to respect the person in the next stall's privacy. It is just a matter of common sense and respect.
