Florida man kicked off flight for using thong as mask

Fort Lauderdale, FL — A Florida man was kicked off a United Airlines flight for his mask, or rather, lack thereof.

Adam Jenne wore a pair of women's underwear over his nose and mouth while waiting for take-off, but the carrier had an issue with the thong and made him de-plane.

"You're going to have to come off the airplane. We're not going to let you travelyou're not in mask compliance."

In the viral video, you can see Jenne's bright red underwear hanging on his face as he gets walked off the plane.

He says he was trying to show why the rule doesn't make sense to him.

"There's nothing more absurd than having to wear a mask until I get to cruising altitude so that I can order Titos by the double and snack on pretzels and illustrating that absurdity by wearing women's underwear on my face sounds perfect."

Shortly after Jenne left, other passengers started to speak up.

"Did he just get kicked off for wearing a mask?" one passenger asked.

Jenne says several passengers ended up getting off the plane to support him.

"Thank you to them, because they saw something, an injustice, something that didn't make sense, and they stood up."

Afterwards, Jenne received an e-mail from United Airlines saying he is now banned from United flights until his case has been reviewed by the passenger incident review committee.

Jenne says he still feels like he was in the right.

"Your rights end where mine begin. You don't get to tell me how I conduct myself."

According to United’s website, masks should not have any vents or openings and should fully cover your nose and mouth.

Jenne says he believes his underwear mask followed those guidelines, but he also says this isn't the first flight he's been kicked off of for this.

He says he was also asked to leave a Delta Airlines flight for wearing underwear.
