@AntDeRosa per several law enforcement officials: this does not appear to be terrorism or remotely related to terrorism.

According to police, passengers on AA34 did not appear to be terrorists, just individuals who kept going to the bathroom.

For scorekeepers, TWO passengers -- not three -- spent "too much time" in bathroom, sparking scare. 3rd passenger suspicious, not in broom

Guy can’t even take a dump anymore without being looked on as a terrorist. What has the world come to? This? No thanks.
