Amir captured this video of O’Hare Airport’s hygiene-freakout toilets that automatically and in a hands-free fashion wrap the seat in fresh, germ- and piss-free plastic film between each user.
I could swear I had a video of the toilets at the World Intellectual Property Organisation building in Geneva, where a similar hands-free wave causes the seat to be wrapped in fresh wax-paper, which is ingested into some dank oubliette after each use, but I can’t find it anywhere. But suffice it to say: this sort of toilet is not without precedent, nor competition.
