When using restrooms, hotel rooms, dressing rooms, etc, how would you know for sure that the mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror? Have you ever pondered upon the possibility that it could also be a 2-way mirror i.e. someone can see you, but you can't see them? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
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, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.
The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on
the back of the mirror UNDER the glass, whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep this in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter a room with mirror(s). May be someone is making a film on you.
Share this with your wife, sisters, friends and other close people you know.

Shade your eyes with your hands like you were holding a pair of binoculars and look into the mirror from 1 or 2 inches away. If you can see through it, you have a two way mirror.

Don't bother. Just hang a towel or blanket over the mirror (carry a lot of thumb tacks).
In today's age of technology I'd worry more about hidden cameras and mikes.
But hey, thanks for the info!

I was about to answer your question with this explanation. Thanks for the advice, for those who didn't know to do this. This holds true for guys too. We might turn up in a porn film, as a background extra.
