American Airlines removed a passenger who boarded a flight in Dallas on Thursday while wearing a gas mask - causing panic among the other fliers.
The incident took place at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where American Flight 2212 was preparing to depart to Houston in the evening.
But passengers grew alarmed at the unusual sight - a man boarded wearing a gas mask over his face and a black beanie covering his head.
'Just FYI flight 2212 to Houston was delayed an hour because you let this guy on the plane wearing a gas mask,' Joseph Say wrote on Twitter in a tweet directed at the airline as well as news media outlets.

Agree but if he had a burka over it he would have been welcomed.
They gas mask was meant to decrease the effects of jet lag on that brutal flight from Dallas to Houston.
I worked in the TSA, before it was the TSA (in the 1980s).
A gas mask is definitely not allowed. Impossible to determine if the passenger has terrorist intentions.
Unusual items used to be up to the pilot to allow or deny. I don’t think this is even the pilot’s choice anymore.
Yea, well, wearing a gas mask is also done by those that are planning to release a chemical agent on board.
The media has many people in a panic. But this is a little over the top.
saw one guy from china wearing a motorcyle helmet.
lots of pictures at airport of people with plastic bottles over their head. dont know if allowed on plane

People who are freaking out about Coronavirus dont seem to mind the fact that the flu kills far more people, up to 61,000 die every year from flu related complications. My nephew had 104 a month a go, it was very scary, no other symptoms, luckily after a week the fever went away
