Federal Aviation Administration

Read a random definition: felon of oneself

A quick definition of Federal Aviation Administration:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a government agency that makes sure airplanes and airports are safe and follow the rules. They also help control air traffic and make sure planes don't crash into each other. The FAA was created in 1958 and is now part of the Department of Transportation. They used to be in charge of making sure air travel was safe, but that job was given to a different agency after the terrorist attacks in 2001.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a government agency responsible for regulating air commerce, promoting civil aviation and a national system of airports, achieving efficient use of navigable airspace, developing and operating a common system of air-traffic control and air navigation, and developing and implementing programs and regulations relating to environmental effects of civil aviation.

The FAA was established in 1958 as the Federal Aviation Agency and was renamed when it became a part of the Department of Transportation in 1967. Its primary goal is to ensure the safety and efficiency of air travel in the United States.

For example, the FAA sets and enforces safety standards for aircraft, pilots, and air traffic controllers. It also manages the air traffic control system, which helps to ensure that planes are safely separated from each other while in flight. Additionally, the FAA is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of environmental regulations related to aviation.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
