I was flying from Denver to Oakland, CA last June. In the post-takeoff announcement, we were told by the flight attendant:

“For security reasons, passengers must use the lavatories in their section of the aircraft. First class has two lavatories at the front of the cabin; coach has two lavatories in the rear of the plane. Thank you for your cooperation.”

For security reasons!? The lavatory? Like the “bombs” dropped in first class are somehow more secure than those in coach class. We have executive poop now? Chief Pooping Officer? Vice Poopident? Ahem, sorry. The fumes… got to me.

Where’s Bruce Schneier when you need him. Sheesh.
