Senator Craig Bathroom in Minnesota Is, Oddly, Not a Popular Tourist Destination

Have we got the Valentine's Day vacation for you! That's right, friend, nothing says "I Heart You" quite like taking that special person in your life to the Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport, with the express intent of visiting Larry Craig's famous bathroom.

Wait, what? That's not romantic? Get out. Maybe that's why it's failing as a tourist destination.

Patrick Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, says that the surge of publicity also brought an abrupt end to the type of activity in the restroom that had prompted lewd-conduct complaints.

Plans to modify the restroom to prevent occupants from passing signals were scrapped because complaints dropped.

"It is the busiest restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International," Hogan told The Spokesman-Review. "It's right in the middle of our main thoroughfare."

[...] Hogan says one person offered to buy the restroom stall for $5,000, but that airport officials declined.

Now, I'm not entirely sure how they handle things in Minnesota ... but, um, WTF? If you get offered five large for a bathroom stall where a someone -- regardless of how famous they are -- was arrested for soliciting sex, you take the money and run. Also, you never, ever, ever, evereverever try and turn such a place into a tourist attraction. That's just not going to work out well for anyone.
