    Man, I assumed at first it was for safety, but it’s to tour them around?

    These would be huge symbolic targets for an attack, this is the absolute worst time to do this.

    I have a very strong feeling something is going to go wrong, whether thru accident, incompetence, or maliciousness.

    I’m gonna be shocked if they all make it back in perfect condition. Maybe damaged and just not acknowledged.

      “Oops, something happened to the Constitution. Oh well, I guess it’s gone now. We should make a new one!”

      Edit: No, the Constitution isnt on the plane, but I like my snarky comment anyway.

      We have multiple original copies of all of them. They made multiples, to distribute among the colonies and to send to England.
