| Long Toilet Stay Triggers Airplane Security Sweep |
| 2002-09-11 |
| A passenger who spent a long time in an airplane toilet Wednesday prompted a security alert and full search of the Lufthansa plane. "It was quite amusing," Lufthansa spokesman Thomas Jachnow said. "He was on the toilet for quite some time. That was enough reason to alert the federal border police." "I think it was the schnitzel..." The man went to the toilet after the plane had landed in Berlin's Tegel airport from Frankfurt. His lengthy stay prompted the flight attendant to alert security officials. The border police detained the man once he had emerged and conducted a thorough search of the plane which did not produce anything unusual. "Whoa! Do not go in there!" |
