The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instituted the mask mandate on President Joe Biden’s first day in office. Within six months, 85% of airline rule-breaking was related to masking, according to RealClearPolitics.
The rate of unruly passengers on U.S. flights in February was 6.4 per 10,000, but that number has dropped to 1.7 per 10,000 passengers following the removal of the mask mandate.
The mask mandate was overturned by a federal court ruling in April, a year after the FAA began enforcing a no-tolerance masking policy to crack down on disturbances.
According to the numbers, it turns out that the masking policy was causing a majority of in-flight disturbances.
In other words, Biden’s non-science-backed mask mandate was having the exact opposite effect he was hoping for.
