Alaska State Sen. Lora Reinbold (R).
A Republican state senator from Alaska who referred to public face mask requirements as “tyranny” has been banned from traveling on future Alaska Airlines flights after repeatedly confronting and quarreling with airline staff while refusing to comply with the rules, several newsoutlets reported Sunday.
“We have notified Senator
Lora Reinbold that she is not permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to comply with employee instruction regarding the current mask policy,” airline spokesman
Tim Thompson said in a statement to Law&Crime on Monday. “This suspension is effective immediately, pending further review. Federal law requires all guests to wear a mask over their nose and mouth at all times during travel, including throughout the flight, during boarding and deplaning, and while traveling through an airport.”
