Good news for you "stall guys"

For you gentlemen who lock up when you have to pee next to another guy, the federal government has your back.

It could cost U.S. employers between $2 billion and $4 billion to comply with an obscure Americans with Disabilities Act regulation meant to protect workers who are gun-shy in public restrooms.
