New Dividers in Men's Restrooms

The infamous men's bathrooms at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport are getting $25, 000 worth of new dividers to discourage the sexual activities that have been known to take place in them, according to an Associated Press article for Minnesota Public Radio.

The airport is choosing the two bathrooms that have been advertised online as hot spots for sexual encounters. The airport has over 80 bathrooms and to put the new dividers in every bathroom would cost $1 million.

The police have made 41 arrests from these two bathrooms on suspicions of sexual behaviors, according to the Star Tribune. The sexual activity in the bathrooms has dissipated since the publicity surrounding Senator Larry Craig's arrest has brought much attention and surveillance of the bathrooms in the airport.

Other airports have taken measures such as increased police presence and even cameras in some cases.
