According to the article it was a single woman doing the search. The real issue was the camera in the room sending footage to the lobby. But the Hijab being removed is a must when searching for contraband.

Although Mythbusters is not a peer reviewed scientific source, they do employ reasonable standards of experimentation.

And the first source you posted is particularly interesting, with similar conclusions to what I remember from Mythbusters; that lids reduce the total number of particles found, but that the particles produced from lid use last longer and are larger. So a lid closed situation can;t really be said to be more hygienic.

Unfortunately on a cursory skimming of the other articles none of them seem compare toilets with lid down to lid up, they all seem to look at lidless toilets only. Thus, they can;t really speak to the topic of lid use being more hygienic without the direct comparison.

Mythbusters found it makes no difference in the spread of fecal matter. Toilet lids aren't perfect seals.

A TPK is a pretty quick way to end the session.

Hamas could let their people South and no one gets hurt. If Israel lets Palestinians across the border into Israel, Hamas will sneak in with them and kill lots of Israelis. Can you not see the difference?

A lot of pugs are now being bred to have "old" traits, so a longer snout and less bulgy eyes like the pugs of 100 years ago.

You're just proposing the God of the Gaps, and that god keeps shrinking every day.

No, they will actively hold mutually contradicting beliefs and spout them back and forth, and refuse to back down on them when it's pointed out they contradict each other.

That is not the same as changing your mind after a few years and new information coming along.
