Erlanger: "Carry-on bags fees; now this ( pay toilets ). What if someone doesn't have the change to pay? Do they realize what this could create? People defecating in the aisles, urinating in sick-sacks.(?) "

Old news here ( 1996 )....But, your right, this could become a trend.

Airline passenger accused of defecating on food-service cart

NEW YORK (AP) -- An investment banker is accused of assaulting a flight attendant and defecating on a food-service cart during a drunken rampage on a United Airlines flight.

Gerard B. Finneran, 58, managing director of the Trust Company of the West, pleaded innocent Monday to federal charges of assaulting and intimidating an attendant and interfering with a flight crew. He was freed on $100,000 bail.

Federal authorities said the Greenwich, Conn., executive started pouring drinks on himself during a Buenos Aires-to-New York flight that began Friday.

When flight attendants tried to cut him off, he told one attendant he would "bust (his) ...," according to court papers. He allegedly shoved an attendant into a seat.

Later, Finneran was spotted with his pants down, defecating on the food cart, authorities said. He used linen napkins as toilet paper. ( much classier than paper napkins. )

John Finnegan, Finneran's lawyer, said his client "vigorously denies the allegations."

One passenger on the plane was President Mario Alberto Soares of Portugal, who was on his way to the United Nation's 50th anniversary celebration.
