Toilet queuing ban requires tact
Link

<snip>

A US demand for airline passengers to be banned from queuing for the toilet would need to be handled tactfully by Qantas, acting Prime Minister John Anderson said today.

The good ol' USA leading the charge on fighting terrorism.

OTOH, it is pretty annoying to have an isle seat anywhere near the lavs, as people just stand there, looking over your shoulder, coughing in your *gourmet* airline food.

I think they should just make everybody hold it.

1. Bedpans and/or foley catheters for all passengers....
That'll solve the problem.... :-)

2. Chemical toliets instead of seats
The comfort level shouldn't be any worse then what you have to sit on now.

3. Am I the only one that thinks this toilet queue ban is whacked?

Terrorists hang out in front of washrooms?

Wouldn't they simply prepare their plans *before* going on the plane?

I can generally see alterior motives behind these 'anti-terror' steps, but this one has me completely baffled.

I'd hate to have my plane shot down because I had one too many cups of coffee at the airport....

4. Maybe we need restroom marshalls disguised as washroom attendants
They can hand you a clean towel with one hand while blowing away a terrorist with the other.

:freak:

I wonder if they'll have brown tickets and yellow tickets?

(Crude, but I had to do it.)
