One of my favorite things to do in airports lately is walk around with a drink in my hand and not have my mask on. One time an airport employee saw me then ran to her speaker to remind everyone to keep their mask on, and the whole time she is staring at me while speaking. I just kept walking as if she wasnt saying anything.

Really interesting to see how different airports operate too. You land into Texas, Denver, Atlanta, or Florida and the airport employees outside doing luggage, directing planes, etc., aren't wearing masks. You land in California with the great weather and most of these people working outside have masks on and look miserable. The differences regionally are nice to see.

GENIUS
I'm flying tomorrow so I'm gonna try this while going through TSA.

Look in the not too distant future for drink and snack service to end on all domestic flights. The COVID fear drum-beating restrictions are going to get increasingly draconian.

It's not just the flight, but you have to wear it in the Airport/Gate before departure.

I'm only good for a half hour to an hour, and I need to take it off!
Find something that works for you.

Whats also funny is when you get to the TSA person you have to take down your mask to show your face. Yes take down your mask when you are like two feet away from the TSA agent who often times dont have their masks on correctly either. This is all one big joke. The more people we get to defy these orders smartly, the better.

New king? You told him already - he is to establish the new Republican government ? Wake up. You are dreaming if you think roughly 1/2 of this nation of Dems are going to disappear. Just wondering where the loyalty to the constitution is here?

Why we still have virus killing- us. Some behave like Kindergartners when it comes to a 4 inch piece of cloth to be worn on our faces to protect others.

We have the Flu virus still killing us. Shrimp allergies. Peanut allergies. Yet we don't ban peanuts or shrimp on airlines.

Some behave like kindergarteners as they demand EVERYONE AROUND THEM "protect" THEM by wearing a piece of cloth that has been proven to be useless.

By the way, Lufthansa and Air France have banned cloth masks on their aircraft because they're useless. The idea that some government bureaucrat or old underwear can protect us from a virus that escaped a hermetically sealed lab and made its way around the world in less than a month is patently ridiculous on its face.

Any old "4 inch piece of cloth" and the supposed assurance it provides against the virus may have a lot more to do with the spread than the resistence to it.
Anaolgy would be like depending on an umbrella with holes in it to keep you dry.
