Yeah I don't really care. It's just a mask...

TSA already has a difficult time doing their current job, I can only imagine how they will deal with this.

The "science-based" argument is that scientists do not know whether a vaccinated person can still be a carrier. The polio shot was effective at preventing the disease, but the virus continued to replicate in the bowels and vaccinated people could still spread the virus. Scientists figured out how to make an oral vaccine that wiped it out of the digestive tract.

That's according to a CDC Doc. I do not know. I'm just a pilot and I trust the Docs to advise us.

If the Chinese are doing anal swabs, that suggests this virus camps out other places than just the nasal cavity.

I don’t know if it detects the virus or not. I’m not a doctor, scientist, or any sort of infectious specialist, but I know a free anal swab when I see one!

The fact that Covid can be spread by eating @$$ but not pu$$y or c0ck was well publicized very early on. I can't be the only one who had to look this up to reassure my wife upon return from a 4-day.

Why does it matter if someone can transmit if the only two people with exposure have both been vaccinated?

So how soon until the TSA are standing in a terminal window with a camera as you park?
