It seemed like it could be the great mystery of our time: What unspecified threats require Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Scott Pruitt to fly almost exclusively in business or first class? A spokesperson told CBS News on Tuesday that "due to security concerns" the secretary "has a blanket waiver to fly in first or business class,"

Tho I was thinking of something else when mistakenly posting that above, the insult was unnecessary to the valid point you made.
I asked mods to nuke it, but they must still be asleep.
I drive whenever possible. For my occasional TN to CA flights I accumulate enough miles to fly first class. Given the kind of harassment he gets from leftists and the pure misery of flying steerage, he deserves to fly first class.
Unfortunately, for domestic flights, controlled access to business or FC is no longer. Most flight attendants are afraid to tell coach passengers they can't use the first class lav. There is an endless parade of passengers coming and going in first class.
No he has a point. They should just make sure he isn’t flying commercial all the time and that he takes care to schedule and fly on the GSA flights that shuttle people back and forth. Perhaps even military cargo flights. Those are always pleasant ://
Proof Liberal intimidation works. When these people step beyond lawful redress and jump into social Warrior they need 90 days of waiting for their first bail hearing, but we aren’t going there instead, they want to blame a cabinet head for a flight upgrade.
“The article is a whitewash of how eco terrorists and other liberals have threatened his life & his family. He is doing a very hazardous job for us.”
They stalk him using social media and texts, they alert fellow travelers on the planes and the ground, they are organized, evil scum.
Precisely
Terminate one fake “feral” scientist and the travel is cost neutral. /s
Life’s tough. Get a helmet
I don’t have a problem with him flying 1st class. Flying commercial alone is a plus.
Could be worse, like Pelosi flying a gov jet, not just any jet, one capable of non-stop coast to coast even in a strong headwind. Then run up a bar tab in the $ thousands.
Funny, never heard the MSM crowing about those abuses and others during Zer0’s admin.
“Just a hunch, but I’m guessing the travel expenses of Obama’s appointees were of little concern to the MSM.”
When Nancy Pelosi stuck taxpayers for $200,000 in booze for her private plane when she was Speaker there wasn’t a peep from these clowns.

That's a lie...the quote says "unpleasant transactions with other travelers."
Quite a difference.
FWIW, I took the train last month (both ways), Cleveland to DC with a connection to Baltimore. Getting on and off the train was incredibly efficient, the seats were roomy and comfortable, there was a snack and meal car that provided food a large percentage of the time and there was an observation car with lots of space and seating. The employees were efficient and pleasant. It was very clean....the stations and the train.
Guess what? All the trains were to capacity. And the passengers were exceptionally groomed and civil.
What's my point? Perhaps the negatives with flying are creating an impossible situation.
Too funny - the guy is doing a tremendous job dismantling the over-reaching EPA and I wouldn't doubt that if left in coach, the Left would insure he got harassed.
BINGO, my thoughts exactly. When I saw this on the news yesterday I wondered where the press’ concern about travel cost was when Obama and his minions traveling all over the world courtesy of us, the US Taxpayer. How about when he and the wookie took separate planes when going to the same place????
That’s a good point. Perhaps he should simply be authorized to conceal-carry when he is traveling.
You are correct.
There is a simple solution to his “problem”; do away with the EPA! (Hey, another slogan!)
You make an excellent point. I retract my statement.
At least he isn’t using a private jet at taxpayer expense.
I support Pruitt too. He is cutting away the outlandish rules and regulations of the EPA and even spoke against the EPA BEFORE he was appointed. The man needs to be protected. Yell about a separate plane for Obama’s DOG!
