Really silly question but what do you guys think about bringing your macbook air into the toilet for a number 2? Would the moisture affect the battery, or the screen, or how the laptop thinks of me? Would it affect the quality of my number 2 experience? Would love to know what everything thinks.
Depends do you sit down when you flush or stand up? As particles could get through and onto your MacBook.
 
Like camera gear placed into zip lock bag to help acclimatise to wildly extreme humidity differences, it probably would. You can see the condensation immediatly inside lenses but of course not inside the laptop.

My post was based on the fact that although extremely high humidity most likely won't damage the hardware itself, the LSIs could potentially be tripped, giving Apple an excuse to deny warranty. Personal experience.

Note: I'm really basing this going from cold AC airports to extremely humid environments (90-100%) outside quickly.
So, since reponding to this post I found myself on vacation in a very humid place in the American southeast. My laptop had been inside all day in some rather crisp air conditioning, and when I took it out onto the patio I immediately started seeing condensation form on the outside. I put it back into my briefcase for a while to warm up. Nothing seems amiss, but next time I'm going to bring a big ziploc along and let it sit a while outside before opening it.
