Somehow, blowing up bathrooms doesn't seem the most effective terrorist device. "Look out! The urinal's gonna blow!"

And nobody bother flaming me....

WABC radio, New York says: "A bomb MAY have exploded at Atlanta's Hartsfield airport". Really emphasized the MAY and didn't provide any more details.

Unless, of course, you're the one using that urinal.

Also, this could be a two-phase attack: a small bomb in the bathroom to get the first responders on scene, followed by a second "crowd pleaser" to attack the LEO personnel.

Eric Rudolph allegedly used that tactic in several bombings.

Oh, and I doubt it exploded. They brought in a robot of some kind to retrieve it.

"Look out! The urinal's gonna blow!"

At the new Virgin Atlantic terminal in NY, perhaps. Someone should post the picture.
