Hi gang,
I was a DJ for over 30 years, but I'm a Social Worker and have been for 25+ years.
Part of my training is how to get organizations & the Government to change policy.
Getting the TSA to change their policy on Pool Cues is in all likelihood just a matter of someone willing to to put in a little leg work.
Since I know how to do this, I'm in.
It's always easier to get things done when you have a sympathetic or empathetic partner on the inside. To that end:
QUESTIONS:
Does anyone know any Congress Person or U.S. Senator who is a big pool enthusiast? If not, I'll take any well known politician.
Does anyone know any trade association that can get me reliable industry stats on:
# of Pool Players in the US
avg # of cues owned per player
travel habits of average pool players
# of miles most tournament players typically travel
Can anyone get someone in a position of authority of any formal Billiard organization (tour, association, etc.) to get behind this with me?
The United States Figure Skating Association got the TSA to change their policy banning Figure Skates as carry-on items post 9/11.
I have a dear friend who can put me in touch with the right people at the USFSA to see how they went about it.
This should be a relatively quick fix folks if just a few people are willing to put in some effort with me. Let's see who stands up! Let's do this!
