Flying toilet
A flying toilet is a facetious name for the use of plastic bags for open defecation, which are then thrown into ditches, on the roadside, or simply as far away as possible.
== Usage ==
Flying toilets are particularly associated with slums surrounding Nairobi, Kenya, especially Kibera. According to a report from the United Nations Development Programme launched in Cape Town on 9 November 2006, "two in three people (Kibera ) identify the flying toilet as the primary mode of excreta disposal available to them." This contradicts a Kenyan government report which indicates that 99% of Nairobi residents have access to a sanitation service.〔(iafrica.com article )〕 The UNDP report blames a taboo against bureaucrats and politicians discussing toilets,〔("The taboo that kills 2 million kids a year" ). ''Foreign Policy'', 10 November 2006〕 while others see a reluctance among the Nairobi authorities to formalise what they characterise as an "illegal settlement."〔Betty Tett, assistant minister for housing, quoted in (IPS article )〕
A related concept is the "trucker bomb", described in a media report as the trucking industry practice of urinating into plastic bottles and throwing them from the vehicle as an alternative to stopping the truck or using facilities at rest stops.〔Llanos, Miguel (2 June 2005). (Urine trouble, some states warn truckers ). ''msnbc.com''. Retrieved 17 June 2012.〕
