SMS in the news!

I ran across a new use for SMS (text messaging) that you don't see every day.  Cellular News is reporting that Finland has found a new way to protect their isolated rest-stop toilets from vandalism, while still providing public access.  If you need to use the facilities, people just need to send the word "open" to a short code listed at the bathroom, and the door is unlocked remotely.  If the room is vandalized, a short-term record of the phone number that unlocked the door prior to the vandalism can help authorities track down the vandals.  A clever solution using our favorite mobile technology!
