makes it less common to where it's not really a problem. Like how stores go into buisness knowing there will be stealing, but if there is too much it's not worth it. |
Slightly bad analogy
Theft from stores you are giving up money (hiring security guards etc) to gain money. Obviously, you will take such actions where the cost to do them is less than the benefit gained, and in each case it's fairly easy to objectively describe the cost/benefit.
With this, we are giving up the abstracts of dignity and privacy to gain the abstract of security. The relative importance of these is completely subjective. There is no objective way to say, yes, seperation by gender is the point at which any extra improvements to privacy are too expensive in terms of security.
Additionally, these machines do not work. As I said in my first post.
