I guess, if one actually believes that tapping the right foot in a bathroom stall means "do me". Maybe his foot fell asleep.
What I have read according to the agent: the agent who arrested him was part of an ongoing operation to catch this kind of activity, in this particular bathroom. The senator placed his briefcase in such a way as to block the view under the stall door - and this was a "signal" among those who do this kind of activity. Further, the senator tapped his foot, to which the agent responded in kind and then the senator reached his hand under the wall separating their stalls to the extent that the agent could see the ring on his finger. And that was enough for the arrest. The agency, if not this agent, had an ongoing operation and seemed to have made similar arrests for similar actions, repeatedly.
Of course it could all have been an accident.
Reminds me of a story with me and this punk rock girl on the subway in London in the early 1990's which I don't have time to tell.
