Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Go to the Bathroom

By | August 21, 2006

After we reported on a Jetblue flight to Austin which was under intense scrutiny for bathroom graffiti, and an Excel Airways Flight that was under scrutiny for words on a barf bag, in our recent post, Safety First, Saturday night, a man on a flight from Atlanta to San Antonio was detained and the FBI searched his home with his permission. He was reported as having been in the bathroom for an “extended period of time” and suspected of tampering with a lavatory smoke detector. The next flight the plane was to take was cancelled due to the investigation. More information here.

Now…it is suspicious to spend more than your allotment in the bathroom. Will the TSA seal airplane lavatories for our own protection and make us hold it in? Perhaps adult diapers will become mandatory. We hope not.
