I still like the idea of BP scanners giving an electric shock to any PAX who try and board earlier than they should.

Coming to a boarding gate near you:

I suspect that might be illegal! However, a loud alarm bell and a halogen spotlight on the perpetrator would ensure everyone “knows who it is”.

I was hoping to pull that one off without an emoji I'm definitely keen on some sort of boarding discomfort so that they are conditioned to follow the rules thereafter.

Asking DYKWIA while wearing a mask opens up all kinds of opportunities...

Zorro?
Batman?
Elastigirl?

Could be interesting!

Who'll be the first to post about somebody ranting about having to wear a mask? I guess it's only a matter of time. I'm guessing it will be on a flight from Dallas or Houston

I think you may be rather disappointed, I'm afraid

For those of us who have been travelling over the last weeks/months, it has been a very pleasurable affair. Well ordered security lines, very limited lounges open so no bellowing suits marching around having conference calls, decent and considerate boarding from the passengers who are travelling, and a relaxed and quiet onboard experience. I actually fear having to go back to when the masses start travelling again The only negative has been the rather limited schedule offered by the airlines, and poor timings of flights giving some odd connections.

No, I don't think I will be disappointed. Everything has been pleasant experience for you, but was this due to the lack of normal crowds? I feel once the masses start flying again, there will be the DYKWIA moments. There will always be one that is self entitled. I have not traveled by air as many of you, but I have traveled. As an American, I can say the worst tourists I have ever met were Americans. Too bad, the few ruin ruin it for the many. There will be the reported moment and am looking forward to reading about them.

There ought to be a prize for the first sighting of a gold card attached to a mask.

Maybe BA should start sending out gold, silver and bronze masks?

There are going to be some rich pickings for DYKWIA hunters with the mask rule - probably coming from both sides of the debate!
