    I thought most hand dryers were bacteria traps? Unless they’ve made some changes since.

      I didn’t say what it was engineered for

        There is just a little transporter there, storing all pathogens in the pattern buffer. Patent goes to a Mister Oberin or something.

      Oh, they are. It’d be cleaner to lick the general toilet seat than to lick your finger after using one of these. I don’t use them at all.

        Your hands are supposed to be clean from washing with soap and water. The dryer is just there to make your hands dry because moving around with wet hands isn’t very comfortable.

      It’s possible that the Dyson driers do a miny Baryon sweep of your hands…except it doesn’t ablate your hands off.

          Hu-vok tried to laser-torch Picard. He will not be missed.

          This needs to be a Lower Decks episode.

          Mariner: Why don’t you use the Dyson dryer?

          Boimler: Because they don’t really get your hands dry. I end up using a paper towel anyway. Besides, I don’t want to accidentally slice my hands off.

          Mariner: Quit being a baby. I just finished tuning it. Give it a try.

          Boimler: sigh fine. The Dyson dryer cuts his hands clean off.

          Beat

          They both start screaming
