CAPE CORAL, Fla. – A Cape Coral man is banned from flying on United Airlines after failing to comply with the federal mask mandate.

Adam Jenne wore a red thong as a mask. He was heading to D.C. from the Fort Lauderdale Airport but got kicked off before the flight could take off.

“I think the best way to illustrate absurdity is with absurdity,” said Jenne.

This is not the first time he’s tried flying with the red panties as a mask.

“Every single flight has been met with different reactions from the flight crew,” said Jenne. “Some with a wild appreciation, others confrontational.”

Ultimately, he makes it to his destination, but not this time. He said he was met by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office after being removed off the plane.

“Eventually, they called TSA and airport security,” said Jenne. “I ended up staying at the gate for about 45 minutes.”

Then he noticed others follow his lead. They took off their masks and walked off the already boarded plane.

“I think it’s a testament to passengers having had enough, citizens having had enough. This is just nonsense,” said Jenne.
