"
Though there are two-way mirrors in this world, and it's possible someone has installed one in a changing room somewhere, this procedure won't detect it. All this test will do is help to distinguish between a first-surface and second-surface mirror, both of which are ordinary one-way view mirrors, just glazed in a different fashion. "

Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?

  This is not to scare you, but to make you aware.

  A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and
  techniques for businesswomen passed this on.

      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 installing 2-way mirrors
in
  female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify
the
  surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine any amount of
certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
      Just 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, FOR IT IS a 2-WAY MIRROR! "No Space, Leave the Place"
      So remember, every time you see a Mirror, do the "fingernail
test."
  It doesn't cost you anything.  Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place"

  Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in law,
mothers,
  girlfriends and/or friends. .
  And to my friends...please pass this mail on to all your online
  friends.
  Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place" Better safe than sorry--I never
  knew this.
