If you multiply the odds of encountering any one person being infected with
say, syphilis - at a rate of 2.2 per 100 000 (CDC 2000) - That's a 0.000022%
percent chance multiplied by the likelihood of being an air traveller,
multiplied by the propensity of your loved one putting its hands in toilet
bowls, or on the floor..... Well that's a bet I'd need some heavy odds on
winning.

Actually the "race card" does seem to come into this equation (not to imply
anything about you, or yours):

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...9C8B63Syphilis is 21 and 3 times more prevalent in two certain ethnicities.But as I said, sanitizer is no substitute for washing the ol' hands. You, and your son stand on "****-covered floors" all the time whether you care to admit it or not. They are called public restrooms. Not if they are cleaned properly. Most blood (and that's mOOOst) in continental US of A, isn't a "healthand safety risk", unless you are exposed to blood in the form of eyeexposure, IV/A, inhalant, or other intimate exposure. Sitting on the toilet after you've flushed it is barely an epedemic waiting to happen. You are dense as a rock. A toddler puts his hands into everything.From memory, you said the blood was in the bowl. How often does your toddlerput his hands in the bowl, and how often does he have an open injury on hishand??? Furthermore, all it takes is one minute scratch on the skin and one could contract hepatitis, HIV and a myriad of other blood-borne diseases. But that's beside the point. When I fly, I do not expect to A.) Have to clean the bathroom myself, or B.) Have to stand in, sit in,As you said in the OP - you asked if they had anything to clean it up with.Not why the bathroom wasn't clean. or otherwise come into contact with someone else's bodily fluids. One of the services I pay for is to have the plane cleaned. If the assholes aren't going to do their job, I will choose another carrier, or choose not to fly. Take it easy, and realise what you're actually paying for. Take your own precautions if you have to......... I shouldn't have to, and I know *exactly* what I am paying for. This isn't a $1.50 subway ride. There is absolutley no excuse for this level of filth. -L.Despite my retorts, I actually do see your main point though, it's just Ithink you are reacting to an incredibly small, almost theoretical threat inan inordinately paranoid & non-constructive manner.I'd love to have people throwing rose petals in front of me whereever I go,but it's not going to happen in my lifetime, and I aren't going to get upsetabout it either....

I read it. At what point did him being an "African-American" matter,
instead of being just an American.

I have discussed this before, but just flew Delta PDX-ATL-BMI RT and
had *the* filthiest airplane I have ever seen. It was a CRJ-200 -
everything around the seats was covered in grime. The floor was
disgusting, the controls for the lights were grimy. Crap in the seat
pockets - Yuck! Then flying the last leg from ATL-PDX tried to use the
bathroom to change my son's diaper. No changing table, and the toilet
seat cover and floor was covered in urine. I opened the door to the
lav and asked the FA if they had anything to clean up urine with. The
answer: "Use a paper towel!" I was horrified. So I squirted some soap
on a paper towel and cleaned the **** up, opened the toilet and there
was BLOOD on the toilet seat. Utterly disgusting! Why the **** don't
the flight attendants have sanitizing cleaners to use in the bathrooms?
This is beyond disgusting. Delta is getting a nice letter from me in
the mail....
