Unless Logan is a Federally Owned/Operated airport, don’t see how they can’t enforce it. I assume it’s up to the State/Local Municipality. Once they’re in the air/on the plane is a different matter.

Good luck arresting everyone walking through the terminal without one. Again, TSA can't arrest you.

My friend is a flight attendant. I just asked her for her thoughts. She said she is glad she no longer has to police passengers because that was a slow road to hell. Personally, she will continue to mask; she has not had Covid yet and has enjoyed less sickness since she started masking. She intends to get the second booster, but has not yet.

I truly sympathize with those who are worried but take comfort in that one-way masking will protect them so long as they choose effective masks rather than the commonly worn cloth ones. As far as airlines mandating, absent the air cover of a government mandate, it will be market suicide which is why we saw the majors very quickly announce they were eliminating any mandates based on corporate policy this afternoon.

I am voting with my wallet. All of my near term domestic flights have been rebooked as separate tickets via Canada. I am fortunate that I am only traveling to and from cities with direct service to major Canadian airports.
I am just appalled by how selfish people are.

"Two weeks" turned into 25 months. "Just wear a mask for the first 100 days of my presidency" turned into 453 days.
We're not the selfish ones.

I know this is a sidebar, but do you mean you're flying domestically in Canada sans transiting in the US? Or that you're flying from US>Canada sans an intermediary US connector?

I literally have zero desire to control what anyone else does. I don't get why half the population believe they need to tell you what to do, how to do it, how you should protect yourself, etc. As the saying goes -- you do you, I'll do me. Nothing selfish about that.

Until there is widely available treatment for immunocompromised people, you will continue to be selfish.
Your comfort for a few hours is more important to you than someone else's life. Don't beat around the bush, just own it.

As an example. Instead of taking a non-stop SEA-EWR or SEA-ORD-EWR or whatever, I booked SEA-YYZ and YYZ-EWR as separate tickets.

Oh no! I have to wear a piece of fabric over my face for a few hours! Oh the humanity!

It's not March 2020 anymore. Time to stop pretending that it is.

Next, there will be another variant, then another, then another and so on. Again, it's never ending. It's been shown over the past 25 months.
