Narrative:
The captain had a warning in the cockpit of a smoke alarm in the aft lavatory. He called me to the cockpit (flight attendant #1) and phoned flight attendants in back. He had a main cabin flight attendant stand at the lavatory as passenger came out. She said smoke poured out of the lavatory. The passenger would not give his identity at first. Approximately 1/2 hour later, she got his name. The captain had the FAA and local police meet the flight.
