Women how safe do you really feel when entering a public bathroom? How safe do you think your children and older family members are? Many assaults made on innocent unsuspecting bystanders while walking to a garage parking lots, subways, and public bathrooms. How is one to feel safe in areas like these? How can public bathrooms be better secured?

Why not sliding doors?

This is an ideal answer for places like theme parks, malls, and even office buildings. They eliminate touching the grimy germ infested doors, gives handicapped patrons easier entry and they allow better safety standards to be put into affect. The doors can allow a 15-20 second time spand for patrons to walk through before the doors snap close. If a patron does not feel safe and needs to keep a potentially harmful situation from manifesting itself, a panic button can be off to the side. This will seal the door closed until security comes to assist the patron. If the button is accidentally pressed there can be a 5 second window to press it again to cancel out the "Panic Call". What do you thing?

Might be too expensive for many small businesses. It would need to be openable in the event of a power failure. I've always liked automatic sliding doors ever since I saw them on the old Star Trek show. I think they should be designed to open very quickly so you don't have to wait on them, but close much more slowly for safety. I'm not sure if providing a lock would make it any safer, it might make it easier for a bad guy to trap you. If "panic call" buttons were common, they might lead to too many false alarms.
