Another bathroom ban on mobile phones

The City of Kitchener in Ontario has decided to ban all mobile phones, camera personal digital assistants and similar devices from its change rooms and public washrooms (via MSN News.)

Warning signs are being posted at all public washrooms and change rooms as it is feared that some owners of the devices could take a picture secretly while pretending to be dialing a phone number or looking up an appointment.

The city says the potential for pictures to be taken and possibly end up on the Internet warrants a total ban on the devices.
