Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has some well-phrased sentiments on the security of airport bathrooms. (I thought I'd mentioned this years ago but I couldn't find it anywhere so I thuoght I'd dig up the transcript again):

What is the story on the sinks in airport bathrooms?

That they will not give us a twist-it-on twist-it-off, human-style faucet?
Is that too risky for the general population?
Too dangerous? We gotta install the one-handed, spring-loaded, pain-in-the-ass Alcatraz-style faucet.
You know, those ones you gotta go: "Hey I got a little water there"
"Hey I got a couple of drops."
What is it they think we would do with a faucet?
Turn them all on full, run out into the parking lot, laughing, pushing each other into the bushes?
"Come on, the water's on, let's go! I turned it on full blast."
"You idiot! We're businessmen, we're gonna miss our plane."
"Who cares! Water!"
That's how they think we're gonna act.

 — Jerry Seinfeld, I'm telling you for the last time

I guess what he was trying to say, a decade ago, is that we have to be careful not to get too over-the-top with airport security.
