Attention InfoReps

The TSA lifted a ban on some restricted items in December allowing blades up to 4-inch blades and other weapon-like items. An effort may come up within the next month or so to move the House bill, HR 4452, that would bans all weapon-like items and take security standards back to pre-December 20.

If you have not done so, go to www.www.apfa.org and send a letter to your member of Congress urging support for HR 4452 and its Senate companion bill, S. 2083.

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) introduced the House bill and it has 50 cosponsors (listed below). We need more!!!

Thanks for your help and please pass the word.
