Yea, as soon as you get past security, no one cares. I was so bored walking around maskless that I had to try to get harassed! i went up to cops asking for direction and they just helpfully directed me.
At one point, I went into the store to buys stuff and a little non-binary koolaid hair asked me if I had a mask, I told xim "No, but I am wearing extra thick underwear." He laughed and dropped it.
face diapers were only mildly enforcd on 3 out of 4 flights. On the 4th flight, an extremely effeminate "male" was double masked, so I knew "he" would be trouble. Sure enough, "he" insisted that covering my nose wasn't enough, it had to be up to the bridge of my nose.
"You are one of the COVID cultists, aren't you?" I asked nicely. He didn't think it was nice.
Anyway, for the most part, even flying through JFK can be done with a strong degree of face diaper defiance.
On my flights (FA here) I just pretend not to notice.
It’s all of my co workers. I’m over it. Our “required” announcements sound like kindergarten teachers talking to children. I don’t make any of them. It’s amazing what happens when you talk to people like people. I’ve had zero issues so far because I treat people like adults and not criminals.
