TSA

TSA says it will no longer enforce the mandate after a Tampa-based judge's ruling. It didn't take long for major airlines to switch to a mask-optional policy, with some passengers cheering when the change was announced midfight.

The legislation would prevent TSA from requiring passengers on airplanes to wear masks to protect against the spread of COVID-19.

The monthlong extension comes as the CDC said it would work on a "revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor."

President Joe Biden has extended mask requirements and imposed new travel restrictions on international travelers as the omicron variant of COVID-19 spreads.

Miami International Airport ranked No. 1 with more than 500 cases, according to federal statistucs. Airports in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa were also in the top 20.

Biden says, "If you break the rules, be prepared to pay." He calls the harassment aimed at airline employees over masks "wrong" and "ugly."

Lucas Wall says he has generalized anxiety disorder and wearing a mask causes him to feel like he’s having a panic attack. He claims the flight mask mandate is unconstitutional.

Even as COVID-19 cases decrease and more Americans get vaccinated, the Transportation Security Administration is keeping strict regulations on wearing masks when traveling domestically.

TSA officers will be required to wear additional personal protection equipment at Orlando International Airport checkpoints starting Wednesday.Officers…
