No Queue for the Loo
Attention, passengers: queuing for the loo is forbidden for 14 hours
By Robert Wainwright and Joseph Kerr
January 7, 2004
Qantas passengers have been ordered not to queue outside toilets while making the 14-hour flight to and from the US.
The directive was issued late yesterday by the US Transport and Security Administration, which is demanding pilots make a pre-flight announcement banning passengers from "congregating in groups around toilets or anywhere else in the aircraft".
Flight attendants will be expected to police the toilets, including checking every two hours for "suspicious packages".
Hmmm...what sort of suspicious packages??

How on earth do they control the post meal rush on a packed 747 economy class? It has got to the point where the terrorists are winning by forcing governments to curtail our freedoms.

We also flew into and around the US in September 2001. The flight attendents were quite jumpy and my daughter who was potty training at the time was told off a few times. "hurry up and go potty then sit down" They had an air marshall onboard one flight too.

They'll probably have 2 ques (SP?) like in the supermarket, either fast lane ( just number ones ) or slow lane ( Number ones and twos ),
except instead of being 8 items or less, it'll be 2 items or less.
It'll all depend on whether you've got a trolley load to get rid of or just a baskets worth.
Someones bound to bugger up the system though, pretend they've only got a number one to do and be in there all flight doing a number two!!!!
And then they'll probably want to pay by credit card!!!!

The Marshall will think a bomb would have gone off and shoot me through the bog doors. A night on the curry, bitter combined with air cabin deflation is terrorism for my fellow passengers.

They'll get those number ticket machines outside the loo. Like they have at the meat counters etc.

Top quality posts!
Perhaps they should rename this forum - "Lifestyle and Culture" doesn't seem too apt at the moment!
