HOUSTON -- It is a change that affects every single airline that operates in the United States. The federal government has ordered safety equipment be removed from 6,000 commercial passenger planes, and the Federal Aviation Administration kept the decision to do it a secret.
It is officially called Air Worthiness Directive 2011-04-09, and unlike most air worthiness directives, the FAA delayed publishing its contents online. Local 2 Investigates previously obtained a copy of the document that orders airlines to remove the emergency oxygen generators from all lavatories.

It's silly to think we pay so much for that risk too.
