'prejudicial.'As federal officials work to identify the hundreds of angry mobsters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, some in the airline industry are expressing fear about the threat these individuals may pose to to their safety and calling on officials to keep those who participated in the riot from entering the skies.
Some of the people who traveled in our planes yesterday participated in the insurrection at the Capitol today. Their violent and seditious actions at the Capitol today create further concern about their departure from the DC area, wrote Sara Nelson, president of The Association of Flight Attendants. Acts against our democracy, our government and the freedom we claim as Americans must disqualify these individuals from the freedom of flight.
Nelson, whose organization represents more than 50,000 flight attendants from 17 different airlines, called on the Transportation Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to ensure the safety and security of passengers and crew by keeping all problems on the ground. The mobsters, who many believe were incited by President Trump, hailed from a variety of states.
In a statement shared on social media, Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, made a similar plea to the TSA and Federal Bureau of Investigation to keep perpetrators off planes.

A spokesperson representing thousands of flight workers says ban them. One person with six years experience, admitting their trumpist leanings (and cowardly requesting anonymity) bogusly both sides BLM protestors is quoted.
And "peers" (plural) are referenced in the lead sentence.
Utter nonsense.
