Craig's Airport
Stall Becomes Tourist Attraction

The airport toilet where Sen. Larry Craig was arrested for allegedly soliciting gay sex has become a popular tourist attraction, according to airport staff members.

Travelers passing through Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport have taken to photographing the now-famous restroom stall. Karen Evans, the airport's information specialist, told the Associated Press she had been asked for directions to the stall four times within the first 15 minutes of her Friday shift.

Other airport personnel have noticed the site's popularity, as well. "People have been going inside, taking pictures of the stall, taking pictures outside the door -- man, it's been crazy," Royal Zino, an employee at an airport shoeshine shop, told the AP.

After an airport officer arrested Craig on June 11, the Idaho Republican pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Craig later said his guilty plea was a mistake and that he would fight to withdraw it. His request will be heard in court September 26. (The Advocate)
