Nothing in the bathroom...new policy?
I flew yesterday and the pilot stated that the new rule was men were not allowed to bring anything into the bathroom and that women had to ask a flight attendant before they took something into the bathroom.
Is this official?

Oh, please! Are they going to look in our pockets to be sure that we haven't brought anything inside? How silly.

That pilot is a paranoid jackass. If anyone chose to "smuggle" something into the bathroom, who would know.

Airline amenity kits, not yet totally extinct, usually contain a toothbrush and toothpaste. Where would this captain expect us to use them? And where would he want us to spit after we do?

Hopefully the airlines won't decide to permanently lock bathroom doors shut and just pass around bed pans to pax who need to "go." Spittoons in the aisles every two or three rows will solve the teeth brushing problem.

I'd love to see an airline make a federal case about it and hear the expert witness testimony about kidney discharge rates, bladder sizes, the effects of prostate enlargement, the consequences of bladder stretching, etc.
"Self help" goes a long way in solving life's problems, from changing your baby on an adjacent seat, to peeing in a bottle, to always washing your hands and using the paper towel to open the airliner restroom door.
Whatever the "policy," deal with it!

Pilots like this need to be the LAST ones to get guns in the cockpits.
A mental health check should be given to anyone close to getting a gun....
