Ha! We were talking about this today in my Research Methods class. We were discussing ethics in research, which led to examining a research study where they actually put HIDDEN CAMERAS into men's urinals angled just to catch the, err, stream and then tested what effect it had to have male researchers go into the men's room and lean too close to men using the urinals. (ie, track what the delay factor was)
The argument being made was that a public bathroom was fair game for such research, with me and some others arguing that this was intrusive and just plain not cool.
