In re: motion detectors I also noticed when transiting through CDG the last time I was there that the escalators are motion sensitive and only will run when you approach. I've always thought this was brilliant since you only need to have the motor kick on when there's an actual need to have the apparatus running.
On that note, I also noticed in my local QFC (Krojé affiliated market) that the cases for frozen foods only get lit when you approach them (even though the cases are lit by LEDs rather than fluorescent lighting.)
As far as _bad_ use of motion sensors I went to a meeting at Seattle University in the alumni building had motion sensors in the WC and I guess I didn't do my bidness with enough haste and the room was plunged into darkness before I had a chance to pull up my trousers, warsh my hands and exit the WC gracefully.
