[QUOTE="FedEx courier, post: 694628, member: 23267"] The new link to the article I posted had some other points besides how much was spent on security being how much was spent on lobbying. The article is dated Feb. 23 2010. [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20100226180012/http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/feb/23/trent-lott-among-fedex-lobbyists/[/URL] Some notable quotes from the article include "Of Memphis companies, FedEx spent by far the most on lobbying: $4.65 million in the fourth quarter last year, up from $2.09 million for the fourth quarter in 2008, records show." "Former senator Trent Lott, R-Miss., was among the lobbyists working in FedEx Corp.'s behalf in the fourth quarter of last year, focusing on Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act provisions of interest to the Memphis-based logistics giant." "FedEx hired at least nine outside lobbying firms in the fourth quarter, including Breaux Lott Leadership. Lott himself and a former Lott staffer worked on FAA Reauthorization Act issues." I know it was an older post but I found the article and thought it may be relevant for discussion. [/QUOTE]
