Really cool article and movement, thanks for sharing it. I’ve been printing whistles and leaving them in my little free library but had no idea there was this nation wide movement going on.

i mean, if we're printing whistles why ain't we printing death whistles

They take forever to print and use a lot of filament.

They're printing liberty ships, not cruise ships.

these are good points

I think they'd be great for distraction and irritation, but at the same time, they're not as god for signaling and alarming, and, I would imagine, would desensitize us to human screams.
