Group Wants To Bring U.S. Aviation To A Halt For One Day
Feeling downtrodden?
Spied upon?
Over-regulated, underserved, unnecessarily suspected?
Check out www.avstrike.org.
The idea behind the site is to propose pilots and aviation workers
across the United States band together in a one-day, industry-wide
strike to "protect their rights as U.S. citizens."
According to the website, "the Transportation Security
Administration has taken it upon itself to become the judge, jury,
and executioner of pilots and aviation workers it considers (for
its secret reasons) to be security risks.
"They have made a mockery of the precepts of the
Constitution of the United States. By using the convenient umbrella
of 'National Security' they are strangling the livelihood out of
good, honest American Citizens with useless, arbitrary restrictions
on flight," according to the web site.
"Osama bin-Laden wants to crush out the American way of life and
he has apparently found a powerful ally in the TSA," the site
says.
This'll Show 'Em?
AvStrike.org proposes a one-day aviation strike by all pilots
and aviation workers in the United States on 3 May 2003.
"We need to
send a message to these thugs that we are citizens also," says the
site.
"In 1776 the founding fathers of the United States signed the
Declaration of Independence to take our country away from rule by
decree. The TSA is taking it right back with their draconian,
un-American pronouncements and self-made mandates. Soviet style
rule is coming to America," the site alleges.
