Safe seating
If you haven’t had a barking exchange with a ticket agent and can get to Minneapolis airport, it’s safe to use the men’s room again. Authorities are putting in full-length dividers. But now that even Larry Craig knows not to go there for anonymous sex, isn’t that like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped?

I couldn’t freakin’ resist a response here, so to speak, in the ‘back room’ of the blog. And a quick visit confirmed that there would be instantaneous gratification in a visit to an article in a September 29 edition of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, there’s always a good quote on such human interest angles.
I wasn’t disappointed in any way whatsoever: “If everybody would behave themselves, we wouldn’t have to spend money on any of these modifications,”, said Patrick Hogan of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Yeah pal, tell that to all the ‘straight guys’ that would never have the balls to complain about having this less than attractive venue of theirs shut down. Of course to Craig it was Avalon.
Here’s the other fave quotes all by Mr. Hogan: “We are trying to take pro-active measures that don’t require us to tie up police officers’ time and still protect the public interest,” and my personal favorite, The airport has no plans to lengthen dividers in any of the other restrooms, Hogan said. Making the same changes in all 80 would cost about $1 million.
It would seem that the only safe haven was the one Mr. Craig saw fit to visit, sort of like the pilgrimages of old…no?
