I’m noticing a lot of the “masks required” signage at several airports is no longer displayed. I placed some bets in LAS that the airline mandate is dropped by 04JUL

Sadly, political sensitivities and liability might keep masks around in private businesses for a while in some places.

Yup. Lawyers are scarier than viruses. That's what most of these nonsensical rules are about. Litigation mitigation.

There is all this talk in violence on aircraft and airports, is the psychological effect of not being a face attached to a person ever considered?

If all you see is a mask and eyes, isn’t that a stereotypical criminal?

Friend of mine, a year ago, observed the obvious. He thought he would never be able to say, “I walked into my bank wearing a mask. The guard nodded to me and the teller asked me how she could help me. They did not try to put me in cuffs.”

Personally I think the masks create a psychological barrier to communication and human empathy. If nothing else it's a PITA to talk to someone so I'm less likely to engage in discretionary conversation with strangers. Visual cues are important in our communication.
