the long, tortuous nightmare is over...

Here's the logic:
We DID have a rule about wearing a mask on flights, but after consideration and a change in circumstances masks were deemed no longer necessary, so the rule was abandoned.
Why is that a problem for you?

These people simply reject anything we write. Any and every. Since they reject it out of hand, one never gets to first base with a one on one conversation. You have only to read Jimmmand Sueann responses . And of course Sonhouse, but that is in the clouds.

Why does the govt make it hard to borrow $10K to start a business, but will hand money out to a jobless college graduate to pay for his tuition?

The take off your shoe thing was caused by that idiot who tried to make a bomb he took on a plane where the stuff was buried in his shoe which I think caught fire in flight so that set off the whole we need to see your shoes deal. I forget the dude's name been a few months now🙂

Surely we can get this same judge to use the same logic for passing down a ruling on this, right? That TSA carpet is the dirtiest place on earth. The amount of toe fungus caused by this ridiculous rule is immeasurable.

Next up, jaywalking. That's gotta be unconstitutional right?

Go be the test case and file a lawsuit. You never know.

Take your shoes off.
Empty your water bottle.
Walk through an x-ray machine that might cause cancer.
Don't smoke.
Turn off your cell phone.
Buckle your seat belt.
Put your seat back in the upright/locked position.
Don't speak about violence or terror.

Apparently all these are constitutionally-justified rules for air travel. Except, we can't have rules about masks? Please explain the logic.

Certainly.

masks are silly

@wildgrass said
I was asking why masks, since that logic does not apply to other dumb rules. Can we get a judicial branch ruling on walking barefoot through the metal detector at TSA, please? I'm tired of that.

The risk-benefit seems a logical argument coming from someone whose job it is to determine such things. We should not defer to the judicial branch of our government for decisions on public safety.

Let's complain about activist judges.

its not about masks or science...it gives liberals a sense of power over someone else. kind of like the thumb thing here.

You're missing the point that the pre-COVID things that airlines mandated were already bizarre and unfounded. What does the science say about these other things that airlines force you to do in the name of safety?

Is the shoes off thing also about power?

Is the 5 oz of liquid or less also about power?

Why's the judge making rulings on masks only?
