@markfrauenfelder, I think you mean “flight” in the headline instead of fight?

Inspiration for a segment of a live-action “South Park” movie, no doubt.

I doubt “thinking” ever came into the equation.

There is strange discord happening in airports. Airlines require masks onboard yet just around the gates they couldn’t care less. Maskless folks abound waiting to board. Airline personnel appear to turn a blind eye to what’s right in front of them. Passive aggressive enforcement isn’t helping.

Anybody else get a strong Animal Kingdom vibe from those mugshots?

That’s been my experience at most airports. My local airport has been on top of it. They don’t leave it to the airline staff, it is handled by airport staff and security. Take your mask off outside dedicated eating areas and you’re surrounded in moments.

Didn’t dreadlock white dudes used to be peaceful loving types or were they always assholes?

Used to be, but when the mullet-wearers realised it was all up and switched to dreadlocks it was the end of that peaceful vibe. /s

Also, this guy gets it and makes sure his passengers also get it.

The original version I saw also had him explaining how easy it was to not drink alcohol for 1 hour and 43 minutes. Couldn’t find that version, immediately, unfortunately.

I doubt that this is the case in this circumstance, but whenever I see a group of dudes arrested like this I always wonder if one of them isn’t in the process of realizing how poorly he misjudged his friends and wondering how he ended up in this situation. I’ve definitely been around dudes who seemed reasonable at first, but at some point demonstrated that they were shockingly sociopathic.

And it’s always dudes.

We are a nation of spoiled brats. Flying has always been terrible even under the best of conditions, and now it’s just untenable. I’ll probably never fly again.

That’s three rolls of rainbow toilet paper. You gotta bring your own for some of the seedier road houses.

The airline can only control what happens on their aircraft pretty much. Out in the terminal the airport management and security are responsible for enforcement of any local mandates.
