I have first hand knowledge of flight crew responsibilites. And bathroom usage is a big problem on long flights. Some flights have restrictions on when some one may walk around the cabin. Likewise, some passengers feel they can disobey flight directives at will.
The day has long past when a passenger could wander around an inflight aircraft. This is not the end of the restrictions either. Soon there will be placard placed on bulkheads disallowing certain passengers to approach the fore bathrooms at certain times. Already a few passengers have been arrested for disobeying certain usage of bathrooms in certain situations.
Our lives have changed forever, fear has increased, and threats on the western way of life are being made daily.
One more thing. Flight crews have the responsibility to protect the flight. They are encouraged to report any perceived threat no mater how small. Each member has direct unrestricted discrete access to the authorities to report anyone for anything they feel necessary. However, they are trained not to be paranoid or overly alarmed. But, if anyone gives a crew any hard time you can be sure that person will be tagged.

There goes any shot I had of earning my wings in the "Mile High Club".
Does this mean people with bladder conttrol problems need to wear parachutes, just in case the line is too long?
...and...
How can you tell the difference? When I really gotta go, I squirm, get tense, want to move around needlessly....hmmm.....might a terrost show similar behavior while plotting his actions?
You're right, Bill. They're winning. And in some ways, they've already won.
Damn shame, too. Rapid
