One sided mirror

[snip] I remember an airport in Venezuela that had a whole row of "mirrors" that were mounted on a wall about fifteen feet above the floor. Of course, it's quite possible that they didn't care at all whether people thought they were mirrors; the important thing was that you couldn't tell whether or not you were being watched. Post offices use these quite often. They are used by postal inspectors looking for theft. The employees know what the mirrors are for but have no way of knowing when inspectors are watching them. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ Where am I going, and what am I doing in this handbasket? |
