So, I started digging around looking to see if they are bringing the mask mandates back or is it just rumors hoping we would just "volunteer" to wear them without them telling us we have to. Because we have that judge that ruled against the mask mandates and wondered how the gov could bring them back after that ruling.

The Florida District Judge declared the mask mandate "Unlawful and Vacates the mandates".

HEALTHCARETSA: No Truth to Rumors About a Return of Mask Mandates

Published on August 24, 2023

The federal agency in charge of airline travel said Thursday that online rumors of a return to a mask mandate this fall are simply untrue**

“TSA does not have any new requirements and there has not been any meeting on the topic. CDC is the lead federal agency for public health determinations, including whether people should be required to wear masks in transportation systems. TSA has authority to impose mask-related requirements to implement mask orders from the CDC related to transportation systems. TSA is not imposing mask-related requirements at this time,” TSA tells GV Wire.

However, the cdc has being active with cvd & wearing masks -

They have mask "recommendations"...

Wearing a highly protective mask or respirator may be most important for certain higher risk situations, or by some people at increased risk for severe disease.

I found nothing regarding mask mandates on the TSA website -

I searched TSA site for "masks", and this page came up:

https://search.usa.gov/search?query=masks&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&affiliate=tsa.gov

And clicked on the link that says this:

Security Directives and Emergency Amendment

Face Mask Requirements

And nothing on face masks since 2022

https://www.tsa.gov/sd-and-ea

Medical Masks | Transportation Security Administration

You are required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience. You...You will be asked to adjust your mask for ID verification or if it ...

And this comes up (nothing saying masks are mandated) -

So, why are so many media sites pushing that mask mandates are coming back? Alex Jones, I believe was the first person to take about a whistleblower said they would bring back the mandates.

Are they hoping we would all just volunteer to wear them since the judge ruled against the mandates?

Does anyone have any other information or thoughts on this?
