Re: Don't spend too much time in the bathroom...

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

The story mentioned in Flight 253 thread (pointing to NYDailyNews article) says that
"Passengers told investigators that Abdulmutallab spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom and covered himself with a 
blanket when he sat down"

Only 20 minutes... The second Nigerian man spent an hour.
Now TSA has to wake up is ten minutes or more too long...
