David, this rule doesn't say that we cannot get together in groups around lavatories. It says that we cannot get together in ANY part of the aircraft. It reminds me of the military junta times in Turkey when I was growing up that if the military saw more than 5 people in public getting together, they would consider it as grounds for illegal demonstration.

When I fly, I enjoying stretching my legs by standing in the forward entrance door but, because it's near the cockpit, I can't do it. > now isn't the US getting a bit ridiculous here re Australia's Qantas > says toilet queues banned on flights to US? > when do the government expect the passengers to use the toilet? when they > land? > Ha! and noticed it only mentions foreign carriers A AGAIN what about US > carriers? > hum? > guess they expect the passengers to hold it for 14 hours! > and what if the passenger has a disability? hmm? again I think > government is getting > too oversecuirty concusr next they will probably say that you cant move > in your seat!
