If someone can swap out a faucet, they can install the pedal
operated switch.

I can't honestly understand why a mechanical (or even electrical)
foot-operated switch would be preferred over a conveinently-positioned
hand-operated touch control when it comes to turning your kitchen faucet
on or off.

Think about cleaning a paint roller. Doctors don't touch *anything*
with their hands after they've scrubbed (other than gloves). The same
theory applies to any hand-washing sink. I'd expect to see more foot
controls, given the H1N1 paranoia.
