- Jeez... but from my criteria I *could* get a telephoto night vision
- lens and go to favorite teenage 'parking' areas, or perhaps drive-in
- movies and unobtrusively observe all sorts of courtship and sexual
- behavior. why is that different from unobtrusively observing
- people at shopping malls?

- Comments?

- ----- the distinction here is the legal concept of a reasonable
- expectation of privacy. Such an expectation certainly exists in
- a bathroom but does not in a shopping mall. There is more to
- ethics than a campus review committee. A bunch of academics snooping
- around and peeking at people in bathrooms would make a great
- newspaper article. Would you want to be the academic featured in
- that article? -----gary carson
