The "foot tapping" signal/ritual brings to mind the following scene played to "Dueling Banjos".

The fact that soon-to-be-former Senator Craig was one of 41 people busted in this particular sting should give a good idea of the scope of what's happening out there:

The 40 others caught up in the sting, according to the police reports, included airport and airline employees, an account executive with Revlon, an IT consultant for Ernst & Young, a 3M executive and a Lands End employee.

you cannot categorize Larry Craig’s behavior as anything other than “reckless”

As far as I know, he tapped his foot and picked up a piece of paper. Your definition of "reckless" may vary.

Got arrested back in June!
You cops have to come up with something better
I just reached over to pick up a letter

I guess one could say this employee from LAND'S END was looking for a MAN'S END!!!

Let’s not go down that hershey highway correlation.

I heard a homo guy on the radio say that in all the years he’s never know anyone who had sex in a public restroom. What a crock. It’s been happening for years in mall’s and such places all the time.

[Marylander]

LOL. Does anyone remember the bit on Saturday Night Live where Al Franken was sitting in a stall tapping his feet and singing Duke of Earl? Men in adjacent stalls joined in. Was it a reference to this system of signalling?

[Caipirabob]

I bet it was - LOL! I'm going to search for it on "YouTube".

While attending college on the GI Bil in 1974-1976, I worked Security for a new Sears store. Through the grapevine we found out the bathroom was being advertised as “the” meeting place. I would document young men entering and leaving hours later. Management did not want to become involved, due to law suits, etc. I bought a pack of balloons and when the place had been full of fags for hours, I’d fill a couple of balloons with water and kick open the door, throwing balloons at the ceiling. It was a joy to see these soaked fags run out the door, very indignant. Eventually, word got out not to go the Sears bathroom. However, the cops got the info late and vice staked out the bathrooms, AFTER I’d solved the problem. When I observed one guy go in and remain for two hours, he got water bombed. That cop was really pissed at me when he ID’d himself.

Should have used gasoline.

Like spraying cats with a hose! Nice!

And plead guilty to a crime...

I have a nice piece of ocean front property in upper East Tennessee you may be interested in.

I am convinced Craig was looking for some "activity." What nailed it for me was his demeanor during the interview. He was arguing technicalities, ("you solicited me...how would he know that?) rather that expressing outrage over such a ludicrous charge being placed.

Should he forfeit his position over this? Yes.

[Manic_Episode]

I don't have to let my dog crap on the carpet before I can do something about it.

I recognize the signs of what he is about to do, stop him and put him out.

As a guy, let me tell ya, you don't even come close to tapping someone's foot in another stall. It is an unwritten law of men...

Send the poofers out the door. My kids use the restroom and Lord knows what I would do if some fag touched one of them.

William Leap, an anthropology professor at American University, said his research indicates that up to half of those who engage in male bathroom sex would consider themselves heterosexual.

Huh?

[ClaireSolt]

Whatever the truth is, we have a justice system which was this week overridden by the drive by media and its court of public opinion. There the accused has no rights at all.

I believe this has been discussed on some of the other Craig-related threads (where I remember reading it) ... but there are several elements to the theory. One is that the guy is in denial of his gay/bi tendencies and refuses to identify himself as gay/bi.

Another is the "men who have sex with other men" belief - the guy needs sexual contact/release and the easiest way to getting it happens to be with another man (as opposed to seeking out a prostitute or going to a bar to pick up a woman). In that sense the guy isn't "gay" because he's not really attracted to other men, he just uses men to fulfill his sexual "needs".

I really don't care that much about the apologistic psychological/anthropoligical factors here ... people who seek out sex in public areas (including airport restrooms) are criminals and need to be treated as such.
