Sharps disposal bins in airport and hotel bathrooms: Friendly accomodation to the self-medicating, or paranoid fear of junkie-infected needles?

Why can't it be both?

The hotel in-room bathroom? Or a public one? The airport suprises me much less.

My guess is it's primarily intended for razor blades.

paranoid fear.

who accomodates the self-medicating? don't we lock those people up? :P

Well, I personally know a over dozen people who need to inject themselves with prescription drugs at least once a week and no needle-using-junkies.

Not that the plural of anecdotes is data :)

'bout time, too. When you're a janitor and you get jabbed by a needle stickling out of a garbage bag, you get paranoid no matter how clean the guest looked.

FYI - Diabetics do still travel - they are not under house arrest of anything.
