A TSA order enforcing mask mandates on commercial airplanes doesn't expire until March 18, and there's even a possibility that it could be extended.

Rules imposed in the early days of the Biden Administration require mask-wearing across all forms of public transportation, including trains, buses and airplanes. But the TSA order applies only to air travel.

"The mask requirement remains in place and we will continue to assess the duration of the requirement in consultation with CDC," said TSA spokeswoman Alexa Lopez on Friday.

In fact, pretty soon, public transportation could be one of the few remaining settings where people are required to mask up. Thanks to the CDC's decision yesterday, masking mandates will even be dropped in schools.

Flight attendants and pilots alike will likely be relieved to see the masking mandates dropped, as enforcing them has led to an unprecedented rash of conflict on commercial airplanes as (often intoxicated) passengers pick fights with other passengers, and staff. Incidents where passengers have been restrained in-flight, and even incidents where planes have been rerouted, have skyrocketed.
