A man who says he desperately needed to use an airplane bathroom after eating something bad in Honduras faces a federal charge after being accused of twisting a flight attendant's arm to get to the lavatory, the FBI said Wednesday.

Dude probably drank some water and caught a case of that Aztec guy’s revenge.
There wasn’t a drink cart to squat on?
Not sure what’s worse. A fear of explosives or explosive diarrhea.
I have over a million frequent flyer miles... I always wondered about this very thing: What if I had the screamers and couldn’t wait? What would they do to me if I made a run for the head? Would they arrest me? I think the airlines just need to put a seat belt in there to comply with federal regulations in case they have another shituation like this!
He was probably in the can...
Stupid. He should have just shat right where he stood when they refused and got a lawyer when he returned home.
I sympathize with the flight attendants as they have to deal with all sorts of jerks every day.
This man, however, had a real intestinal emergency and was barred from using any lavatory.
I have personally witnessed flight attendants looking the other way, allowing coach passengers use of the first class lavatory.
This man clearly did not appeal to the flight attendants sense of humanity because he was probably irate from the get-go.
Cooped up on a plane for a few hours with a guy who let loose in his seat and I would have to really think about it myself...
I think the stewardess should have been arrested for unlawful restraint...and forced to drink prune juice and not be allowed bathroom privileges for 48 hours...
... with all the ball clubs flying around all season, wouldn't you think There'd be a plane crash?
As Steve Martin once said in a movie (while sitting at the dining table), “Daddy? May I be excused?” His Daddy said, “Yes, Son.” Martin’s nutty character just kept sitting there and the guest wondered why he wasn’t getting up to go to the bathroom. Martin kept sitting there and then got a very “relieved” look on his face and dinner proceeded without missing a beat.
Common sense would say that, after the guy had gone to the bathroom and the attenednt found that he actually had an emergency the charges would be dropped.
I guess this attendent doesnt have much common sense, nor has the airline.
If the guy was a veteran,DHS should investigate possible
terrorist activities.We’ll call it Napolitano’s revenge
from now on!
One of my favorite scenes! I laugh just thinking about it.
