Moscow Ponders Terrorist-Proof Toilets

Officials in Moscow may be over-reacting just a bit to the threat of terrorism in their city. They believe bathrooms will be the next big target and are seriously considering the installation of bomb-proof latrines throughout the city.

These terrorist-proof toilets will be made from a fibrous concrete that can withstand a bomb blast. Each lavatory will be solar-powered and heated for comfort. If this plan is approved, these latrines could be installed by the end of the year.

Oh and keep your watch handy as you have thirty minutes to do your business before the door flings open, an alarm sounds and emergency services is alerted. Yikes. [Moscow Times via Wired]

    Time to jump into one of these once the Zombie Apocalypse arrives.

      I think the stink might drive you out, though.

        I think the pungent fumes would be the last thing on your mind if there was a horde of zombies that had overrun civilisation and want nothing more than to consume your brains.
