However, some homemade solutions are better than others and one American United Airlines passenger's attempt had him banned from the carrier. Adam Jenne, from Cape Coral, Florida, attempted to board a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Washington DC wearing a red thong as a facemask. In an interview with NBC 2, Jenne said the act was in protest of the country's mask mandate, which requires all individuals to wear a mask on public transport. "Every single flight has been met with different reactions from the flight crew," he told the national news outlet. Cabin crew union Travel and Tourism (ITT) has advocated for passengers being fined or put on a 'no-fly' list for resisting the mask mandate.
