Lewd at Logan?

For most people, airport toilets are not a nice place to be, whether you're at Logan or somewhere else. But now it seems that airport bathrooms are the new hookup hotspot, at least according to local news outlets.

The Herald is all hot and bothered. Laurel Sweet went above and beyond the call of duty with bathroom sex euphemisms such as "a last-minute souvenir of their trip to Boston" and "this sea-level variation on the mile-high club."

Sweet also dared to peek at calls for bathroom hookups on Craigslist. We looked to confirm, and we did see some requests for bathroom encounters. However, we saw more requests for hookups in hotels by the airport, not in airport bathrooms.

Despite the lack of evidence on Craigslist, the latest news reports suggest that airport bathroom trysts are becoming more common, especially in Atlanta. We don't know what makes Atlanta such a great place to hook up, but "more than 30 people have been arrested in the last three months."

These bathroom episodes are stirring up attention because they appear to be guy-on-guy. We wonder if there would be as much of a fuss if it were the opposite or mixed-sex encounters. Don't the people who are minding airport security have other things to worry about? Like terrorism?

As for the trysters, airport bathroom hookups don't seem all that sanitary, so we hope they're cleaning up after themselves, for the sake of themselves and other passengers.

Plus, it seems like a lot of trouble to go to for a hookup. Then again, the people who are making it in the airport bathroom might like getting frisked and patted in the security line.
