Oxygen disabled in lavatories

Could I possibly have been the first person to have reported this?

The claim is that it will prevent terrorists from igniting it to create a bomb.

From the article:
"According to the FAA, the airlines completed disabling the oxygen generators in the lavatories of all 6,000 U.S. aircraft on March 4. The FAA said in a statement released Thursday that it delayed informing the public about this action because it was concerned about keeping travelers “as safe and secure as possible.”"
