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.

I've got triples of the declaration of independence.
Triples are best, triples are safe.

This would be a great time for someone to steal the declaration of independence

What the f*ck? That's a new form of masturbation I hadn't considered America capable of, considering our current leadership is either too dumb to read these documents or too giddy to pretend nobody knows what they mean.

Apparently this happened by train in 1976. I saw that train go by, TIL there were documents on it.

Ah, back when those documents almost still stood for something.

Or we were at least able to share in a mutually convincing fiction that they did.

Reading this comment made me think of the "High watermark" line in Fear and Loathing.

It would be oddly appropriate for that plane to crash and burn.

Named after the sound it makes when it MCASes into the ground

After just reading the title I thought orange man wanted to play with the documents on air force one.
