WATCH: Florida man kicked off of a United Airlines flight for wearing thong panties as a mask

You see, you can wear a cloth mask on an airplane just not *that* as cloth as a mask. Got it?

The *that* being a red thong:

United said the thong “clearly wasn’t in compliance with the federal mask mandate”:

Maybe someone can explain to us just how much better a cloth mask really is than a pair of panties, because we don’t see it:

hi hello the CDC guidelines for masking are still premised on a method of propagation that has been thoroughly exploded for at least – at least – a year

the masks they're mandating people wear aren't actually better than anyone's underwear https://t.co/KSQmx0tYzH pic.twitter.com/JxXbxEntJf

At least some airline CEOs are pushing back on this nonsense:

The CEOs of Southwest and American Airlines both said today in Senate testimony that masks on planes serve no purpose. https://t.co/ehz7LFesas
