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.

LOL! Nope.

If a penny from that high up can't kill someone a tea bag certainly couldn't.

Doubt it. But I would worry about it landing somewhere else, given the height. The last thing we want is bad publicity from having tea bags littered across the entire city.

An interesting comment from the Wonkette article that links here:

Quote:
CFR 91.15: No pilot in command of a civil aircraft may allow any object to be dropped from that aircraft in flight that creates a hazard to persons or property. However, this section does not prohibit the dropping of any object if reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property.
But if Elijah has nixed the tea-dumping plan, then that's of no concern anyway.

I think it was good that they nixed the idea. I can just see this as being spun to say Ron Paul litters or some stupid stuff.
