Court rules FAA may require better life-saving equipment
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration has the authority to order airlines to start carrying more sophisticated life-saving equipment in their first-aid kits, a court ruled yesterday.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia did not rule on whether first-aid kits ought to be upgraded on planes, but said the FAA has the power to order the change under existing statutes.
The Aviation Consumer Action Project, a nonprofit group founded by consumer activist Ralph Nader, filed a petition in February 1981 asking the Federal Office to ban kits. But the agency refused, arguing it has authority only to require basic first
aid items, not emergency medical equipment.
CURRENTLY, AIRLINES must carry only bandage compresses, antiseptic swabs, ammonia inhalants, roller bandages, a small amount of burn compound, an arm and leg splint, scissors and one roll of adhesive tape.
The consumer group estimated the expanded kits would cost about $250
The appeals court said the FAA's distinction between first aid and emergency medical equipment cannot be justified with the agency's broad authority to deal with air safety.
The consumer group, along with 40 doctors and other health care professionals, wanted inclusion of items to help them deal with and other life-threatening problems.
Raid of Leavenworth County pot field yields marijuana valued at $2 million
Officers from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department yesterday raided a five-acre field containing about 20,000 cultivated marijuana plants.
Led by Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan, the officers harvested plants at the Linwood field at about 9 a.m. with a tractor and weed-cutting tools, said Terry Campbell, Leavenworth County Sheriff.
Campbell said that about 10 agents from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and about 8 agents from the Missouri State's Department took part in the raid.
Campbell estimated the worth of the marijuana at more than $2 million.
He said the department learned of the location of the field last week from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The agency also conducted a search warrant Monday, Campbell said.
Campbell said the marjuanah had obviously been cultivated because the plants were about 12 to 15 feet tall. The other area, the area were about 8 to 8 feet tall.
No arrests have been made, Campbell said, but an investigation is continuing. He said officers were investigating a new case to hold as evidence for prosecution.
Campbell said that he expected the field to be cleared sometime last night and that the marijuana would be burned.
