Craig, who is married and the father of three grown children, is up for re-election in 2008. He did not address his political future.

The story was first reported by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, which cited a copy of a report by the airport's police division. It said that airport police had been conducting a sting operation inside that men's room because of complaints of sexual activity there.

According to the police report, the undercover officer set up his position in the restroom at noon on June 11. A few minutes later, Craig entered and sat in the stall next to him. Craig began tapping his right foot, touched his right foot to the left foot of the officer in the stall next to him and brushed his hand beneath the partition into the stall next to him. He was then arrested.

While he was interviewed about the incident, according to the police report, Craig gave police a business card showing he was a United States senator. "What do you think about that?" Craig asked the officer, according to the report obtained by Roll Call.

Craig gave the officer his Senate business card and asked him, "What do you think about that?" Talk about arrogance - using his status as a Senator representing the people of Idaho to beat a lewd conduct rap!
