And quite a few who seem familiar with the “code”. Something I had never even heard of before now.
Apparently, gay websites list places like these to go to for anonymous sex. They als give instructions on what hand (or foot) motions to use.
From the NYT:
The arrest report accusing Senator Larry E. Craig of disorderly conduct in a bathroom stall at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport said Mr. Craig’s actions followed “numerous arrests regarding sexual activity in the public restroom.”
The airport police in Minneapolis would not elaborate yesterday on the earlier arrests, but information about efforts to prevent public sex at the airport — and at others across the country — is available online through Web sites that cater to the very people police hope to stop.
In June, when Mr. Craig, Republican of Idaho, was charged with making overtures for sex to an undercover police officer, a Web site that lists places for gay sex worldwide included this alert about the Minneapolis airport beside the words “Heads Up!” in red letters: “Airport police sting here in progress. Four arrests so far this week.”
Another posting, also in June, said: “Twenty people were arrested within the past week. Plainclothes officers wait in the stalls and tap their feet and even put their foot on yours and then arrest you when you look under the stall wall.”
At least one other gay site lists a bathroom at the Minneapolis airport as a popular place for sex.

Yeah, it’s a side of life I’m proud to know nothing about!
