On a typical flight, people are lined up while someone hogs the restroom. Why not have the restroom door automatically open after 3 minutes, forcing the occupant to return to his/her seat?

All the answers above are great. I would like to add... sure, let's add a mechanical timer and door-opener to the plane. That's one more thing that breaks which means one more thing that needs to be replaced... which means one more thing to cause mechanical delays. Personally I would rather hold it and deal with the occasional bathroom hog than have yet another reason for late takeoffs.

you need to learn a little more patience. If this is all you have to ***** about, you have it pretty damn good. Why don't you go to the restroom before you board? Can't you last 3 hours? and obviously there are no women in your life if you limit the bathroom time to 3 minutes.....

For the same reason they have barf bags in the seat pockets. Air travel can make people sick, and they sometimes need time in there.
And, of course, an alarming invasion of privacy.

Because it would be an invasion of privacy and because the bathrooms are so freakin small you have to take extra time just to bend down and do your business.

a three minute limit would make getting into the mile high club a little less appealing.

Would you rather the person in the bathroom poop in the seat next to you?
Don't think so.
That is why.

Would you really want to see someone taking a dump on an airplane? Me neither, I'll hold it.
