According to the latest reporter's tweet:
For scorekeepers, TWO passengers -- not three -- spent "too much time" in bathroom, sparking scare. 3rd passenger suspicious, not in broom
This probably turns out to be my second suspicious-lav-use thread of the day.
I'd write more but I feel a sudden need to use the bathroom.

Good job TSA. Instead of giving citizens of US a safe environment you have successfully get them to do what you are indoctrinating all of us: Everyone is a potential terrorist and we should treat each other as such, and be suspicious of anyone and everyone that we see.

Actually, only 2 passengers who refusal to get out of the lavatory. He went to restroom frequency. Which is why those 3 passengers were extremely drunk. I believe they are extremely intoxicated. LEO & FBI were questioning on those 2 passengers and they were release. No charges being filed against these 2 passengers. He did not followed the flight crew instructions.

"...[A] pair of fighter jets were scrambled to escort an American Airlines jet into New York's JFK airport after the pilot became spooked by passengers' frequent trips to and from the restroom.
The precaution turned out to be unnecessary as federal air marshals aboard flight 34 from Los Angeles to JFK were able to resolve the situation when the passengers complied with their instructions, police officials said..."

A similar situation occurred on American Airlines Flight 34 from Los Angeles to New York. The flight crew became nervous when it saw people making repeated trips to the bathroom. They called for fighter-jet escorts, but air marshals sorted the problem before the jets were needed.
After that flight, too, three people were questioned and released.
It turned out that "everything was copacetic," an FBI spokesman told AFP.
