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'm with ya! If that airline has atmosphere so toxic on their airplanes that folks can't even go without a mask long enough to eat a meal, that airline needs to be shut down and all their airships condemned. If it's that bad, why aren't they making passengers wear hazmat suits and use oxygen tanks while thy are on those polluted machines?

.

Yep. 

The truth is that is if it's so dangerous that it can maim/kill in between bites while you're chewing, it's too dangerous without a respirator.  You could easily get exposed while you lift the mask to put the food in your mouth.   It really is pretty black and white for me.

I just never stopped being amazed about the inability to reason or the dismissal of logic (i.e., they're capable of reason, but choose not to exercise it or just go for flat-out exploitation of a situation).
