A Florida man was reportedly banned from flying United Airlines after wearing a red thong as a face covering while boarding a flight in protest of the federal mask mandate.

Adam Jenne, of Cape Coral, told NBC 2 that his Wednesday morning antics at Fort Lauderdale Airport got him booted off a plane bound for Washington, DC.

“It’s all nonsense,” Jenne said of the mask requirement aboard planes.

“COVID doesn’t know that we’re at cruising altitude. It’s stupid. The whole thing is theater,” he fumed.

Jenne said Wednesday wasn’t the first time he fashioned red panties into a mask aboard a plane.

“Every single flight has been met with different reactions from the flight crew,” he told the news outlet.

“Some with a wild appreciation, others confrontational.”

Imagine being restricted to car travel for the rest of your life because you insisted on wearing panties over your face.

Are there set guidelines for what constitutes a mask?

I mean, it’s about as useful as dirty cloth masks worn around the chin, so he’s not wrong

Sounds like he fricked around and found out. Hope it was worth it to him.

And how many other passengers do those pathogens have to pass by before they get to the filter? I've flown in the last month or so and I don't remember these filters surrounding every seat.

I’d be more worried about the pathogens coming from the used panties I grabbed from the trash outside the women’s restroom on my way to the gate.

Doesn’t Southwest still require masks? If so, seems like the CEO is just playing the legal game.

He didn't get arrested, just banned from United.

Seems worth it for viral 15 minutes.
