Man forced from flight for wearing thong as mask as protest

A passenger was forced to disembark a flight in Florida because he insisted that wearing a red thong as a face mask complied with COVID regulations, local media said Thursday.

Adam Jenne, 38, was asked to leave the aircraft before it took off from Fort Lauderdale airport.

He told local news channel NBC2 he wanted to show the "absurdity" of forcing passengers to wear masks on planes while allowing them to be removed to eat and drink on board.
