Another flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, bearing the same flight number as the flight that featured the Christmas Day Firecracker pants guy from Nigeria, has been the target of some kind of “bathroom disruption.” Updated.

The man in this case, also from Nigeria, allegedly locked himself in the bathroom. Our tipster, Mike, asked, what’s next, “new bathroom restrictions?” Whatever the case, we can be all but certain there will be no electronics allowed in the bathroom from here on out.

Thankfully, the plane landed safely in Detroit with no injuries, although we imagine that bathroom door is pretty banged up. This developing story will no doubt cast new uncertainties over the debate surrounding our on board electronics.

Update: No terror to see here. Just a guy with some indigestion who was spending a bit too much time in the restroom. [Huffington Post]
