Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg (aka Alfred E Newman), made a rather stunning statement during an Axios interview today. When discussing domestic travel and transportation as it related to COVID-19, the transportation secretary said: “there is an active conversation within the CDC now” about requiring COVID tests prior to air travel inside the United States.
This ridiculous position was unfortunately one of the issues CTH predicted might happen.
COVID is not a virus inasmuch as it is an opportunity to achieve social-change goals advocated by the far-left. Remember, one key element within the Green New Deal was to ban airplanes altogether.

This idea that anyone in government can get in on this covid tyranny is very disturbing.
Buttigieg knows nothing about public health. He should have no authority to make any decision such as this one.

Americans must be tested to fly domestically while illegals are allowed to waltz across the border and go anywhere they like, untested? Yeah, that makes perfect sense. In bizarro world.

Meanwhile, people like Buttigieg, Kerry, and the rest of the liberal government & rich elite will just fly on private or government jets to avoid testing. After all, they are no longer one of the little people and feel they shouldn't be subject to the same requirements as everyone else.

So he got a memo from some place and passes it on. Doesn't mean he understands it.

How about HIV tests for people like you who want to give blood. I think that's been banned.

So, make it difficult for tax payers to travel and pay more for the airlines by bailing them out

Another idea that will help kill off the travel industry. Why not make travelers shoe evidence of vaccination? Why not tattoo the forearm to indicate unacceptable travelers?

Butgigger also intends to have the same rule for interstate bus and train travel, expanding TSA to enforce it, TSA agents in every bus and train stations, and a federal mask enforcer on every train and bus.
Next step will require it for people driving on Interstate highways, in their personal vehicles.
Leftist run states will follow, to require it on intrastate public travel.
I was never particularly religious, but this Mark of the Beast stuff is sure looking to become a real thing.

The airline business is very near out of business. They have made the flying experience so obnoxious that most people will drive.

Yesterday I was considering a flight up to Alaska...and found out the state requires a COVIDS test to enter, or go into quarantine. That test is offered for $250. And this is a RED STATE. I have little doubt its major tourism industry is running in the red, too.

Got to get rid of all that riffraff and those deplorables from air travel to make room for the elite. Next, big bail out for the airlines. Me, I'll drive my 20 year old gas hog and then I'll be constrained when gas gets to $5/gal. Meanwhile the FED will devalue the currency by 10% per year by using the printing press. That is the plan for progress by the progressives.

Yet, anyone and everyone can just march across our southern border, no test required. Odds are, they are bringing in Covid and quite a few other diseases.

Last time I flew was 2016 because it was international and my car cannot float. Either than that, nothing, nothing beats the comfort of your own car.

Also require HIV testing. Which is more deadly; AIDS or Covid?

I’ve been tested and have shown to be “high-logical” so I ask...if most of the other people on the plane have been vaccinated, what danger am I in if I haven’t been? And what danger are they in?

Hit submit too soon.
The same goes for masks - if all the other sheep are wearing them, why do I need one?

#1, Pete doesn’t know anything about transportation, either.
