An American Airlines passenger was detained on Friday after refusing to wear a mask or to exit a plane at a New Orleans airport, the New Orleans Advocate (Nola) reports.
American Airlines Flight 1768 was preparing to leave Louis Armstrong International Airport for Dallas but was delayed for up to an hour due to the mask incident, according to the report.
American Airlines spokesperson Derek Walls told the outlet that the plane had to return to the gate after the passenger refused multiple requests to wear a mask.

Just sayin'.

(51,974 posts)these people are doing *exactly* what biological terrorists would do, except in this case they don't have to because republicans are already doing their job for them.
And the media refuses to call them terrorists when the *only* difference is that they're American.

You're completely correct that they are terrorists.

And I bet the galleys of these planes have several rolls of duct tape available for just such occasions. (If they don't, consider this a suggestion.)
