United States: a passenger disembarks from a plane, for wearing a thong instead of a mask

Adam Jenne, 38, boarded a United Airlines plane in Fort Lauderdale (Florida), determined to complete the flight wearing a female thong (red) as a sanitary mask over his face. local media reported, Thursday, December 16.

The flight crew having ordered him to wear a regulatory mask on pain of expulsion, he chose to leave the plane on his own, rather than giving up his thong and his opinion.

According to this Florida entrepreneur, the rule of wearing a mask to protect yourself from the coronavirus in an airplane is “an absurdity”, since passengers are allowed to remove it to eat, and anyway “Company executives keep saying that their planes are the healthiest because they renew the air every thirty seconds”. According to a recent study by the Institut Pasteur, it is in the plane that we are most contaminated.

Last argument of the man in the red thong: the mask would be contraindicated for the education of children, who “learn by looking at your face”.

After the incident in Fort Lauderdale, Adam Jenne confided his certainties to a local television, not afraid to compare his approach to that of Rosa Parks. This civil rights activist had sparked a historic boycott movement, refusing to stand up at the injunction of a Montgomery bus driver, who wanted her to give way to a white man to sit in the back from the bus. “In this country, every change has been brought about by ordinary people”, Jenne said seriously, drawing the comparison to this icon of the black cause in America.

It seems that the man is used to this type of incident, since he claims to have borrowed about twenty planes since June 2020 wearing this type of “mask”, which had only earned him an expulsion once. , three weeks ago on a Delta flight.
