Minneapolis, Minnesota - Larry Craig Solicitation Bathroom

The Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport bathroom where Larry Craig was arrested [on June 11] for soliciting sex has become a tourist attraction. People are apparently photographing the bathroom and stall as they pass through the airport. [William Zaza, 09/29/2007]

A story on the wire and other sources report that the men's room where U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in a sex-solicitation sting has become a tourist attraction.

A big problem with this, however, is that it is still a working men's room, and thus is off limits to interested parties who aren't male.

We urge an entrepreneur to buy the two-stall set -- Craig's and the next-door police officer's -- and move them to an attraction where they can become a popular photo-op. Perhaps the folks at Da Yoopers Tourist Trap, who have a well-known fondness for toilet humor, or the inhabitants of Booger Hollow, who might want a satellite attraction for their famous two-story outhouse.

Until then, people wanting to see the stall will have to go to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota. It's the men's bathroom by the Lottery shop, next to the Royal Zino Shoeshine shop. According to the AP report, people who ask to see it refer to it as "the Larry Craig bathroom."
