Broad Absorption Line (BAL) QSOs exhibit substantial gas outflows that are present in most QSOs, but the nature of their X-ray absorption remains mysterious. It may arise in the outflow itself or in `hitchhiking gas' that shields the outflow from X-rays. The two main barriers to major progress are (1) sensitive X-ray surveys to date have focused on small, poorly defined samples and (2) only a few BAL QSOs bright enough for detailed X-ray studies are known. We propose public observations of a well-defined sample of BAL QSOs from the Large Bright Quasar Survey designed to remove these barriers and lead to an explosion of progress for all. We will relate the X-ray emission/absorption to outflow properties and discover the X-ray bright BAL QSOs for subsequent follow-up.
