News Atlanta glory holes suddenly less glorious
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Apr 3, 2007 at 2:45 PM
Yesterday's edition of Atlanta's alternative daily newspaper featured a story about an Atlanta Police Department crackdown on men having sex with other men in restrooms at Hartsfield-Jackson.
Maj. Darryl Tolleson, commander of the airport precinct, credits a recent increase in "public indecency" arrests at the airport to new and better crime-fighting tactics by the police.
Among the tactics:
discreet peeks through the crack in closed restroom stall doors if an officer hears anything unusual.
What's supposed to bother me more — men having sex with other men in public bathroom stalls, or police officers "discreetly peeking" in bathroom stalls because they hear an "unusual" noise?
I can easily imagine cops peeking in at people on the toilet because they happen to be "suspiciously" talking on their phones or singing along to their iPods.
