I want to see some of these guys go down on this charge. The MAGAt tears will be delicious!

Wish I had more likes to give this. I want to see some in ACTUAL jail for a change. If they’d stop doing the “catch and release” method of law enforcement, maybe these anti-maskers would stop instead of escalating their behavior.

Bravo. But I get the feeling that if people start dropping masks while flying other people will stop flying.
The airline lobby / FAA love fest is a powerful beast.

I wonder if the sky marshals are as trump-worshipping as regular cops.

Do Folks think this action is:
a) cuz trump is 10 days out so there’s less fear of his reprisals?
b) once apple and google and Amazon made their moves there’s now cover in numbers?
c) combo platter
Unfortunately, none of the answers above shown any spine or sense of right and wrong.
Genuine question - Am I (and many of you) really wired so differently than most of society?
If so, how the hell did humanity make it this far?

If they can ban Muslims from certain countries, they can ban MAGAs from certain counties.

This is excellent news, though I do feel sorry for the people of Kansas, where the American airlines pilot threatened to dump the passengers. Perhaps all emergency diversions due to MAGA hats should be at Guantanamo. You know, just to make it fair and stuff. Wouldn’t want some MAGAs to get treated badly and end up in a dangerous place like Berkeley.

I believe it’s a direct response to the behaviour of the insurrectionists on their return flights home. There are lots of video showing MAGAs being completely over the top aboard planes last week.

Looking forward to some Congress Members getting caught up in this.
Sorry- you can’t fly to DC anymore.

As always, Trump supporting zealots show themselves to be human garbage.

People are still flying?
Unless it’s a medical emergency and you need to get to a very specific specialist who is outside of driving range, why in the hell would you get on a plane at this point?
Since early 2020, I’ve missed 3 family funerals, all holiday events, all vacations, and no work travel (hell, can’t even get into the office park near my house).
Someone needs to teach these traitors how to use zoom so they can have an on-line riot and burn their own houses down.

“Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson has said Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) could be put on the no-fly list if they’re found liable for inciting the riot at the Capitol that left five people dead.”
They’d just fly private. To and fro thru executive terminals.
