I went to a big international airport to pick some people up two weeks ago and again to drop them off yesterday, they had an announcement saying masks were required every 10 or 15 minutes playing over the intercom as well as lots of signs. I saw a lot of people, the first time I saw about 10k people both times and only 3 + myself not wearing masks. I was prepared to be confronted and die on the hill but no one said anything to me or even gave me a dirty look, mosr of them avoided eye contact (I think out of shame) when they saw me, I saw a couple guys looking nervous doing the chin diaper thing and on the pick-up trip I saw two seperate guys walking all bold with their chests out with no masks, when we made eye contact, we simultaneously gave eachother an up-nod and a smirk. I saw a couple airport cops and tsa guys an they saw me and didn't say anything, then when I was waiting in line with my people to check their bags on the return trip I saw a guy with no mask talking to a uniformed, body-armored and armed TSA guy and lots of other people were looking too, I thought maybe he was getting hassled but I eavesdropped and he was just asking a question about what location to meet someone from an international flight, he walked away after with no mask still. The Airlines themselves are the ones enforcing the masks, this is how they do it, they know the government ( I know about the crown and how the airports are not US soil but I'm still saying govt.) can't get away with forcing people (in the U.S. anyway), so they get their minions to do it, just like they get the social media minions to enforce their free speech abuse. The last guy I talked about never looked my way so I didn't get to upnod him, lol. I didn't have to go past security so no one could leverage any denial of service against me. Then again, I have boycotted air travel since the "patriot act" so I'm used to not being ably to fly commercially
Sorry for the text wall, just wanted to post this quick to offer some encouragement for others who aren't already doing so to keep pushing them and testing them as much as you can. This ends when people stop giving in.
wait, airports are not us soil?
Ok, this can be debated but from what I understand, international airports, like post offices are part of the "crown" or the london city, wash. DC, Vatican City maritime nation, the reason is that to them we are legally chattle or property and airlines "ship" us like you would ship mail or a package, that's why you register for selective service at the post office because that is like your shipping form for hen they ship you off to fight in their wars. I am too burned out to give a better explanation and like I said it can be debated by greater minds than mine.
Thank you for your explanation. I hadn't read that before, but that is very interesting. A good rabbit hole to dive into!
yes, it's a deep one
The United States of America is a member of the UN, but the United States is not. The USA signs treaties with other countries, the US does not. They are 2 separate entities, and some laws even refer to USA and US in the same section.

Great update! Thanks:)
My husband fliies 2-3 times/month and never wears a mask, even at Logan in Boston. He gets looks but nothing more. Not even from staff
Awesome! so he gets past security and on the plane and everything?
It 's requtired from the time he hands over his boarding pass to board the plane. But not before that. He wanders without it. Gets through security without it. Sits and waits without it. Even has even gone up to the desk to check bags and no one has said a word
He is one of us real ones.
