If it's a receptacle in a bath it must be GFI protected.

Removed? WHY?
If you're peeing a stream on the wall back there you almost deserve to get bit.
Besides, didn't you see the Mythbusters episode? BUSTED!

I have installed them in this location (obviously a bit more accessible) for toliet seats. No joke.
A couple of them had remote controls. Why, I have no idea.

Oh, did I mention that the toilet was loose and water was seeping out onto the floor.
