Re: Karl's request for views:

That sounds like a pretty weak argument to me. It's the same type of hype
the police used for years to prevent women from patrolling with a male
partner. (They'd be too confined and close for long periods; the spouses
would object; blah, blah, blah...) I'm sure adults can be trusted to work
together without turning animal (at least I'd hope so). The people working
there aren't necessarily married, either. Even if they were, men and 
women work together all the time in offices, stores, airplanes, etc.
Are the spouses going to object? People have to grow up and realize that
men and women can be together without SEX being the main objective!
(I also don't think 48 hours is all that long) Let's learn to trust each
other a little.
