U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., is demanding that Frontier Airlines officials explain why a gate agent banned an air marshal from wearing an American flag-themed mask on a flight.
The agent at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta claimed other passengers would find his mask "offensive," according to Collins.
"This infringement of a law enforcement officer's right to free speech was clearly a decision made by one of your gate agents based on their own politics," he wrote. "This is made even more clear by the fact that many passengers allowed to board the flight in this incident were permitted to wear political face masks, including many wearing Black Lives Matter masks."

Just part of the critical race theory indoc. Anything pro America and honoring our(USA) exceptionalism is forbidden right? NOT! Would FRONTIER AIR LINES ask someone to doff their 'blmbs' mask if one us was offended by it? Crickets.......

They wouldn't like my MAGA mask.
I'd challenge the gate agent to show the written policy regarding "might offend".
Tell him the whole mask issue offends me and that there are no defined standards for acceptable masks.

So you can wear the virtue signaling equivalent of a hammer and sickle but not the American Flag on an airline which calls itself “Frontier Airlines”? Shades of Orwell.

WOW! What an Idea just popped into my head. It may be out there, but a face mask with “1984” would be very apropos due to all the news we are exposed to.

That’s right. You can give a nod to the Marxists and violence of Black Lives Matter, but can’t give a nod to America by showing the American flag. That’s where we are at.

I just called and told them how I feel...

Flying commercial air has been BS since 911.

Are they the same ones at Walmart, which have slogans welcoming illegal aliens?

I would get on the plane and then once airborn, switch back to American Flag mask. Then if they tried to make an issue, they would have to land the plane and give me my day in court.
And it would end up costing the airline millions.

Yup. That’s why whenever I travel, I simply dial up NET JETS and charter me a flight. Then again, I don’t travel any more so............................... :-)

Seems like an Air Marshall would want to be a little bit more inconspicuous. Maybe he should have worn the BLM mask...

Remember back when corporations were “conservative?” Just another pathway on the long march through the institutions.
