No Knives on Planes

As many of you may have heard, the TSA has decided to start allowing knives back on planes. This is a huge workplace safety issue for AFA-CWA's flight attendants, and should be a concern for all airline passengers. The new rule will go into effect on April 25, so we don't have much time to stop it.
 
The flight attendants' coalition has been focusing on a White House petition as an important part of their strategy for fighting this decision. Please considering helping out by promoting the petition to your members and your readers. If any of you want to talk to some flight attendants about the issue, just let me know and I can connect you.
 
Shortcut to the petition: http://wh.gov/GmOg

Suggested Tweet: Knives can be used as weapons. Weapons don't belong on planes. Stand with @AFA_CWA.Tell @TSA: #NoKnivesOnPlanes. http://wh.gov/GmOg
 
Good materials for sharing on the AFA-CWA Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/afacwa

Thanks!

His idea isn't going over that well so far.

His knives petition is about as popular as his candidacy for council.

Well, the Friends of Steve Dawes should get involved.

Hell, a bigger workplace safety issue for flight attendants would be shoehorning the Socialist's fat a** into two, possibly three seats depending on the amount of mini tacos he had before boarding the flight. :fuelfire:

That mixed with the odor from not bathing regularly, and he is a walking one man disaster area. :cheersmate:

Seeing as how the TSA once again failed to catch a tester with a fake bomb TWICE during a test I would say that pocket knives are the least of our problems

Yeah, I don't think the primitives reacted exactly--or anything close to--the way the big guy expected they would.

It's a short campfire, but worth clicking on the link and seeing in the original.

Alas! the big guy! alas!

Somehow, I don't think so.  Not a mole.  More like an unofficial 'reverse nadin list,' where no one responds to the big guy's threads.

Well, the weeping loafer failed to consider the level of stupidity at work in the DUmp.

Accidentally, they're right, it makes no sense to screen for articles that pose no hazard to aviation - typicial government idiocy.

But the reason the DUmmies are right is their stupidity.

They favor allowing pocketknives on planes because planes are jammed full of Republicans. 

DUmmies believe one of their muzzie friends may use his Swiss Army knife to whittle his way through the armored door into the cockpit, take over the plane, and fly it into Republican National Headquarters, or maybe some rich suburb full of Limbaugh clones.
