"a thought here.... all the carry ons..add weight to a flight ..more weight.. more fuel consumed.. now with BP oil shut down..could Blair being holding back fuel for the british airlines..and US carriers..in preperation for a air strike on Iran? i believe Blair shut down the oil fields of BP to reserve oil..in case of a oil shortage in the event of air strikes on Iran! think about it..its a self imposed reserve of oil...
Sheer genius.
Quite acutal.
LOL @ DU. Anyone who's worked in weight and balance of an aircraft (not me, but my wonderful husband has) will tell you that they use an average weight for all passengers and luggage. It might go down by 3-5lbs/person, which won't have much effect on the plane. In fact, it would be better for the airline, as they could carry more cargo to their destination.
One post at the DU actually said this was a plot to get the Lieberman loss off the front page. Those Moonbats are quite a piece of work.
