Spooks and the Man Kicked Off Plane For Not Wearing Mask In Between Bites Of Food

[drussell41]

So they didn't give him a choice:  stop eating or wear your mask between bites?  I mean, it went straight to, "OMG!  You're not wearing a mask!  Off with your head!  Er, I mean the plane."  ?   Not that I'm supporting what they did at all, but skipping a meal might be more important than hosing up your entire trip.   You're not going to change the minds of power-happy idiots on that one flight.

I absolutely would not eat a meal while wearing a mask between bites.  How disgusting.  And ridiculous.  If that atmosphere were truly that hazardous, you shouldn't be eating at all..... something like what's mandated in labs working with biohazards.

I only fly if absolutely necessary. I used to fly quite frequently, but with all the restraints, restrictions, and requirements, I found it more pleasant to drive. Now that my age prevents me from doing the long haul straights, I take the slower, more scenic routes, and enjoy the trip.

I don't see myself getting on another plane for a very long time.

I won't be flying again period.  My family members in other states are deceased; there's no reason to travel important enough to put up with being groped by the TSA again.
