That's what I call tech-savvy people.

When smart phones first came out and parents were getting them for their kids, one boy spotted a van following him, took a pic that showed the license plate and emailed it to the cops. They tracked the perv down and probably saved some kids lives.

So - does Barnes and Noble endorse all sex use of bathrooms with multiple capacity?
