In-flight bathroom emergency lands man in jail - News- msnbc.com
A man faces US Federal charges after twisting a flight attendant's arm to get to the lavatory for a bathroom emergency. TSA rules state that passengers on international flights have to use the restrooms in their seating class, but surely those rules can be bent for humanitarian reasons? The story makes it sound like this passenger didn't communicate his dire need very clearly and resorted to pushiness. Please reassure me that sometimes exceptions can be made when circumstances are desperate and passengers communicate their needs clearly and politely!
