I used a mesh "cheater" mask in a dark color at the airport. Was never stopped. Actually saw the identical mask on a ticket counter employee. I am retired but, my anger and frustration over the "mask thing," especially when it came to masking children, has mellowed. I now see maskers are either overwhelmed with fear, or forced for work to suffocate themselves to have an income. I have compassion for them for their decreased quality of life.
"I have compassion for them for their decreased quality of life." Very well said.
I live in an area of the US where education levels are not the greatest. Not a lot of folks here still wearing masks (I'm in TX), but those who still do are relatively harmless. They have had no way of experiencing the world outside of mass media, and the trickling of it down to those in their close social circles (families and friends). I do not look down on them, but wish they knew better so they could have a better quality of life.

I had a fake- a white and silver beaded one with no cloth even. Sometimes I told people it was “electrostatic” 😅
