I don't sleep well anywhere, that is not home. Be it hotel, ship, or train.
I'm just too paranoid about the bed and the bedding to feel comfortable, especially after watching the 60 Minutes' exposé.
Can't blame you. What did '60 Minutes' cover?
I rethought lounging around on top of hotel bedspeads.
My wakeup call came after watching a TV segment of the 'Forensic Files.' Nice hotel chain, sexual assault/homicide
victim on top of the bed. Crime lab used a ultraviolent light ) to see if potential suspects DNA was present. Photo
shown of results -- so many traces from previous guests it was impossible for them to make a determination -- YOWSA!!!
Though public surrounding will never be pristine, we sometimes forget about the potentials we expose ourselves to,
or what can be done to minimize it.
Past AU posters have mentioned they bring along disinfectants when they use sleeper facilities.
Flying one time, as I was dumping my belongings into those airport security bins it dawned on me those that put their
wallet, change, cell phone, etc. into them have also had the shoes of thousands of passengers before them that have
tramped throgh public restrooms, other lousy areas and third-world conditions....another YOWSA!! Now I carry small
plastic disposal bags if needed to place my items in to at least minimize needless exposure. I wonder if TSA has ever
thought it would be feasible to color-code bins designated for footwear. Or if they even disinfectant the bins on occasion.
