Have your papers ready in case you are stopped while in transit. If you cannot prove that you have been vaccinated, you will be transported to a special vaccination center and your family will be notified.

Cue the federal mask cops. Americans are now required to wear masks in planes, trains, buses, subways, taxis, car services, boats, and transportation hubs, per a new order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Masks must be of a style approved by the federal government and must fit properly. Failure to comply will result in being prohibited from traveling, booted from the transit in question, and potential criminal penalties.
The order will be enforced by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents and "other federal authorities," as well as state and local officials. "To the extent permitted by law…federal agencies are required to implement additional measures enforcing the provisions of this Order," the CDC says.
"CDC reserves the right to enforce through criminal penalties," the agency adds
Creating a vast network of law enforcement officials empowered to enforce these mask rules will of course provide a handy new excuse for monitoring and surveilling citizens.
Meanwhile, deputizing federal agents, state authorities, and local cops to enforce transit mask rules will open up all sorts of new police harassment and abuse opportunities.

Additionally......The CDC order also says it’s not enough to simply wear a mask—it has to be a certain kind of mask. It can’t be a bandana, scarf, ski mask, or balaclava. It can’t fit too loosely or too tightly. It can’t contain an exhalation valve or be made from knitted fabrics, leather, plastic, or vinyl.
Again, that leaves a lot of room for authorities to choose who they target for enforcement.
I wonder when they’ll require a full hazmat suit?
How about burkas?
Bttt
good one. How do they know those Moooslums are wearing a mask under there?
I wouldn’t care if the TSA shoots people for failing to comply.
I don’t think any of this is in accordance with “the law”, since not a single elected representative VOTED for it. Oh wait, that’s right, no one’s vote matters anymore, including elected representatives, apparently. It also isn’t in accordance with the Constitution, not that these tyrants care.
OK, fine. When will my first shipment of .gov approved mask arrive in the mail? You demand it, you pay for it.
Dang. There go my travel pla............. Oh, no they don’t. Still waiting for the TSA stops on the Federal Interstate systems. Will it be just a ticket like ‘no seatbelt’ or will it be a felony.

Practicing for the same technique in confiscating guns.

TSAs are unarmed.
The CDC people clearly don't want a peaceful life.
What they gonna do when those outside the big Dem run cities simply drive their own cars? Overwhelmingly, people in the Trump voting rural areas don't take pubic transport much anyway.
They can terrorize the people in Detroit, Atlanta, New York etc for all I care.
I live in an “open carry” state. I always thought open carrying in public was kinda dumb, but It would be interesting to do it and wear a T-Shirt that says, “I wear a gun because I don’t wear a mask.”
If you get my drift. ;)
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

You are a good little sheep when you know the mandates are unconstitutional, ineffective nonsense, but you obey anyway.
Creating a new MaskNazi bureaucracy. Like all Government programs, it will be with us for next thousands of years!
BTW mask mandates seem very racists to me!
My wife and I were talking about this yesterday. We’re ready to stop flying. Heck, we drove from Kentucky to Seattle and back last summer, as well as southern texas and Chicago twice. It’s actually a nice way to unwind.
I did not know the CDC could pass such draconian laws, though. I would think it would take the congress and a signoff by the president. But what do I know.
