As for the mask issue, early on we were told to REUSE all our masks as supply was dwindling.
Masks are and always will be meant to be disposable! With Covid came the practice of reusing or wearing the mask for extended periods of time. NOT GOOD!
I always used Attilla
I vary to between the two, and will throw in a John Birch or William F. Buckley sometimes for variety...

[HEADING=2]More than 4,000 face-mask incidents have been reported to the TSA[/HEADING]

The Transportation Security Administration, charged with enforcing the federal mask mandate in airports, on trains and in other transportation settings, said Friday it has received more than 4,000 reports of face mask-related incidents since the requirement was put into place earlier this year.
The agency has sent warning letters in just under 4,000 of those cases and is pursuing possible fines in 126 incidents, according to a spokeswoman. The agency did not have information on whether the violations took place at airports or in other settings.
The Biden administration said this week it is doubling the fines for those who refuse to follow the federal mask mandate, which is designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The increased fines are among actions the administration is taking to stop the spread of the more contagious delta variant.
The face-mask mandate, announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in January, went into effect in February and covers people who travel on planes, trains and use public transportation.
Starting Friday, those who refuse to wear masks face possible fines ranging from $500 to $1,000. Those caught violating the federal mandate a second time face fines from $1,000 to $3,000.
“We appreciate the majority of travelers each day who voluntarily follow the requirement, but find this action necessary to maximize the protections for those who use and work within the transportation system, and to contain COVID-19,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a statement that accompanied the announcement. “By doubling the range of penalties, we seek to reinforce the importance of voluntary adherence.”
Those who face possible fines are given the opportunity to present their case to a TSA official or can request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Fines are based on the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The penalties assessed by the TSA are separate from those that passengers who disrupt flights may face. Cases where a traveler causes a disturbance on a flight are handled by the Federal Aviation Administration, which last month proposed $532,000 in total fines against 34 passengers accused of disrupting flights, including one who threw a carry-on bag at other passengers.
This year, the FAA has received 3,889 reports of unruly passengers on flights – 2,867 of those involving travelers who refused to wear masks in defiance of the federal mandate. In all, the FAA has proposed more than $1 million in penalties for people who violate federal rules for conduct on flights.
Different countries have taken different approaches to enforcing mask mandates.
In Canada, travelers can face a fine of $5,000 (U.S. $3,950) for not wearing a mask at airports and while flying.

I’ve flown a lot in the last several months
At least for me
2 to 4 flights a month and have yet to see an unruly passenger
non compliant yes
Combative or unruly no
Most simply comply for a second then go back to their natural state or find a bag of penuts and chew
I seen a Dwarf start shit with American Airlines bag check at boarding terminal in DC. They tried to tell him a bandana is not good enough. I even chimed in and asked to see the packaging for the one they wanted him to wear for the wording stating it was for virus protection. They still were giving him a hard time. This guy wasn’t four feet tall. They ended up persuading him to wear the stupid light blue mask. I had to push him and say “Did You Being Born A Dwarf Also Leave You Ball Less?” He flipped, took off the mask, started an argument and they let him wear his bandana.
Meanwhile we all keep Coffee in hand so as not to have to wear one in airport and on plane. Coffee makes you resilient, and peanuts, and anything bought in airport to eat.
Yellow Eyed Devils.
Yak Pack.
They will never understand
no one I’m the airport want to be a pita
Well 99 percent dont
Then you get the odd ball militant passenger line say a wader or a chinacat that chips in a stews ear

Saying the words mean nothing
