Should restaurants be more transparent from now on?

Question

I'm thinking, from now on, people will demand to know what's actually happening in the kitchen - like, I clearly won't want any chefs using dirty hands to mix/cook my food.Probably, a few cameras that will show us, the customers, what's happening in the kitchen.What are your thoughts?(P.S. The end of "Contagion" - the movie, is pretty eye opening)

Lots of restaurants have "open" kitchens, where you can see the food being prepared. In my experience, it doesn't influence people's opinions of how clean they are.

How would you know if their hands are dirty? You can't visually see whether they washed their hands when they went to the bathroom.
The system we have now (random inspections, fines, forced closures for unsafe conditions) seems to work well in the US. I think people go to restaurants not wanting to obsess over hygiene.
