...a maximum of 30 minutes inside before the doors automatically open and an alarm sounds.

There goes a lot of people's bathroom routines :P

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Yeah, and anyway if you need more than 30 minutes to set a bomb in a public toilet then it's back to terrorist school for you. No, not you Wendy.

""If somebody will leave a bomb inside the lavatory and it explodes, then the toilet won't be destroyed," said Anatoly Ashikhmin, an official involved in the project from the Moscow State Department of Building Maintenance. The drive to introduce bomb-proof toilets in the city follows a spate of deadly bomb attacks in recent years..."



I don't get it. In a terrorist bombing, who gives a damn about the toilets?

I suspect what's really going on here is that they want to reduce the amount of sharp hunks of ceramic flying around and cutting people up. But then, why didn't they just say so in the article? This should be about saving PEOPLE, not toilets.

Think, John.
This is Russia
Population = 141,850,000
Toilets = 5

Save the toilets!
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
