HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR? When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installi! ng 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do. This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sur! e and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you.

NOTE:: Harder to do while handcuffed and while cops are in the same room.

Thank you for the advice. XD It's scary to think that where there's a mirror you could be watched, so I'll try this out. :)

I recieved this in my email, I deleted mine, I am glad you posted this. I have tested it out, it really works. All of us men and women should get in the habit of checking out mirrors that way. Specially in public bathrooms and changing rooms.

The aim is to spread awareness. The invasion of privacy is a growing menace.
