Default Dump Tea from the Blimp?

http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/FlightPlan.php

This is listed on the flight plan and I've gotta say I have my concerns. Is this really a good idea? I mean, yeah, it's cool and all, but don't we run the risk of pissing people off by doing this, especially the locals? And couldn't this be considered pollution/littering? That could result in fines and/or bad press and/or pissed off people.

Also, in what form will the tea be dumped from the blimp? In liquid form? In boxes? Tea bags? What?

It's possible this has already been discussed and I missed it, but I just wanted to put my concerns out there about this.

They're dumping a small amount of tea (crushed leaves, no paper, or teabags). Just a small symbolic amount. It will be okay.

Per Elijah this has been nixed. If there is any tea dumping it will be symbolic.

I heard they were dumping crates of tea over board on to little babies in strollers. But I heard that on a Hannity forum so I do not know how creditable it is. JK

Just small amounts like kylejack said.

Well... if we can't drop tea bags from the blimp, I still think we should drop a few scum bags from it.

Why can't they release Square shapped balloons with TEA on one side and Liberty/Freedom and 1773 on one side. That is symbolic enough. Or just take crates and pretend to throw them out ?

That could be a good idea. Don't know where you would get a square ballon though... One complication is releasing them from the blimp. Would that be safe? Don't want a balloon getting sucked into a propeller and getting tangled up.

Yes, and they're likely to get blown way of course. They could land in Timbucktoo for all we know. Plus balloons aren't bio-degradable, so we'd have Green Peace after us.

I think just dropping a few tea leaves is good enough.
