But when workers discovered the equipment after a mirror fell >out of the wall, they sued under a California state law saying anyone who >installs a "two-way mirror permitting observation of any restroom" is >guilty of a misdemeanor. -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
