How long do you have to be sitting down for this to happen?

You would think that:
A. You would feel the glue as soon as you sat down
B. If you didnt feel it, it would take awhile for it to get to the point where it became permanent
C. You would think regular super glue or elmers glue wouldnt be strong enough to hold you down
Someone care to shed some knowledge on this subject? 
Police in Maryland are on the hunt for the perpetrator of what appears to be an April Fools' Day prank that left a man glued to a toilet at a Wal-Mart store.
If caught, the jokester who doused the seat with glue at the Elkton Wal-Mart on March 31 could face second-degree assault charges, said Lt. Matthew Donnelly of the Elkton Police Department.
Police, along with the Singerly Fire Co. and the Cecil County paramedics, were called to the scene at about 7 p.m.
There, they found the 48-year-old victim, who called for help after realizing the sticky situation he was in when he tried -- and failed -- to stand up and leave the superstore's restroom, Donnelly said.
It took responders 15 minutes to remove the victim from the stall, but they were unable to disconnect the toilet seat from his body, Donnelly said.
Instead, the victim was taken to Union Hospital of Cecil County, where the seat was detached. He left with only minor injuries to his buttocks, Donnelly said.
Police do not suspect that the victim was specifically targeted, but that the incident was a random prank, Donnelly said. They have not received reports of glue-laden toilet seats since.

Yeah same here, but I think it's an evil joke because an elderly person could have sat down and been stranded with nobody to notice. Plus the glue is destructive to the seat and a burden to the bathroom cleaner.
If it was being done to a pr1ck assh013, even more so to and on his own property, like supergluing doorlocks than i'm ALL for it!

Enough superglue will adhere and quite nicely I must add. But the reaction produces heat so one would think to get up pretty fast. Unless you just ate Taco Bell or a really spicy meal

By the time you hear the sirens, it's already too late . . .
Aside from keeping you from getting a case of crabs, sitting on someone else's piss, etc., this is another reason why, if you absolutely must use a public toilet, ALWAYS wipe the seat first and then lay down a seat cover or a ring of toilet paper on the seat.
Educate yourselves:
Place one drop of cyanoacrylate glue on pad of thumb. Touch forefinger to thumb where the glue spot is located. Give yourself a second and a half to realize you have sat on something funny and try to separate finger from thumb. Fail.
Use acetone to dissolve the glue.
