EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should’ve looked into posting this in a different community… It’s closer to a silly “innovation”… soo… is this considered FUD? I also don’t support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had “privacy-violating” before the “solution”.

    That seems like a management issue.

    They can see the time it went offline and then the time you walked out of the bathroom. It doesn’t take much to put it together.

    Also I think these devices are designed to be resistant to tampering.

          Nobody is going to inspect it that closely, especially if they mount it on the ceiling. It does blend into certain plastics that are smooth.
