I'd hate to purchase a new automobile (yes, probably another minivan) only to find that it arrived—fresh off the assembly line—with a deep key scratch across the driver's side doors, sugar in the gas tank and four slashed tires. @Chris Berl — As with any visionary concept, this must be utilized with caution and not to excess.

Most people nod off at "cast iron". Yes - lots of different material for hand dryers - many developed specifically with vandalism in mind. None, before today, however, thought to thwart vandalism by pre-vandalizing. That is truly genius. What will they think of next, selling jeans with the holes in them already? Or intentionally wearing down the paint on furniture?

My wife has informed me that automatic hand dryers in women's restrooms are not as universally-vandalized as those in men's restroom (I'm not surprised), so I suppose Mr. Tidwell's defacement-proliferation figures are somewhat inaccurate. @Rachel — Thank you.

That's some pretty serious stuff. Well, it sounds serious, anyway; I'm pretty sure Geordi fixed the <em>Enterprise-D</em> with a liberal application of termoset polymer to the warp-core containment something-or-others once. @Chris Berl — I am somewhat astounded by the vast array of materials from which hand dryer covers—not to be confused with hand dryer cozies, which are always made of wool and knitted by someone’s incredibly bored grandmother—are manufactured; I mean, thermoset polymer?
