First of all, the executive order is not a law, and hence unenforceable in court. There is already precedent on this subject. No law on this subject is possible because it would take away rights of the people without cause. I obey laws, not unconstitutional executive orders.

Second, the executive order signed by the Florida governor does NOT say "NJ resident". It doesn't say "NY resident". It says anyone traveling directly from those areas. I did not travel directly from NJ / NY and hence the order doesn't apply. A loophole to be true, but a valid one.

Third, as you kindly pointed out, the DHS has ruled that when essential workers are traveling in support of their job state orders don't apply. As the company requires us to maintain a professional appearance and I was traveling specifically to get a haircut in support of that requirement, I was more than justified doing what I did and I'll do it again in a couple months if my state governor doesn't see reason in that time.

And fourth, like countless millions not counted because we are denied testing, I already had covid. There is no reason for me to wear a mask, nor is there any reason for my travel to be restricted. The only thing anyone is getting from me is antibodies from my blood serum.

I recommend doing a lot more critical thinking and a lot less SJW posturing.
