<span style="font-weight: bold;">Travelers ask to see Craig bathroom</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br>Sun Sep 16, 4:33 PM ET Associated Press<br><br>When tourists ask for the bathroom in the Minneapolis airport lately, it's usually not because they have to go.
<br><br>It's because they want to see the stall made famous by U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's arrest in a sex sting.<br><br>"It's become a tourist attraction," said Karen Evans, information specialist at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. "People are taking pictures."
<br><br>Craig was arrested June 11 by a Minneapolis airport police officer. The Idaho Republican pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.<br><br>Craig has since said his guilty plea was a mistake. His request to withdraw the guilty plea will be heard Sept. 26, just four days before he has said he will step down from his Senate seat.
<br><br>Just 15 minutes into her shift on Friday, Evans said she had been asked directions to the new tourist attraction four times. Other airport workers field the same question.<br><br>"It's by the Lottery shop, right next to the shoeshine shop," said newsstand worker Abdalla Said, adding he gets the question daily.
<br><br>The Royal Zino Shoeshine shop owner's grandson, Royal Zino, said it has been hectic.<br><br>"People have been going inside, taking pictures of the stall, taking pictures outside the bathroom door — man, it's been crazy," he said.
<br><br>On their way to Guatemala, Jon and Sally Westby of Minneapolis made a visit.<br><br>"We had to just stop and check out the bathroom," Sally said. "In fact, it's Jon's second time — he was here last week already."
