A California man who does business in Texas and resides most of the year in Israel asked a federal appeals court Thursday to order the Transportation Security Administration to reinstate his Pre-Check membership, which the agency suspended one month after he sued it to overturn the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate.

Uri Marcus has been a Pre-Check member for 4½ years. Pre-Check allows known travelers who register with TSA to use expedited airport security lanes. He’s part of a group of 13 disabled flyers plus a former flight attendant from nine states and the District of Columbia who filed six lawsuits Oct. 19 around the country charging TSA with exceeding its legal authority by continuing to extend a requirement that all public-transportation passengers don face masks. He’s the third litigant TSA has retaliated against.

The father of a 4-year-old autistic boy suing the Transportation Security Administration in the Supreme Court to enjoin enforcement of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” Monday night to discuss the lawsuit and an incident in late October when he and his son were denied boarding by Frontier Airlines because the boy medically can’t wear a face mask.

Michael Seklecki Sr. discussed his lawsuit, on behalf of himself and his son Michael Jr., that is now in the hands of the chief justice of the United States after the Supreme Court docketed Dec. 2 an emergency application to stop TSA from enforcing the requirement that all passengers and workers in the nation’s entire transportation workers wear a face covering.

An Alaska man suing Alaska Airlines over its discriminatory mask policy asked the U.S. District Court in Orlando, Florida, to restrain the carrier from refusing him transportation because he was eating on a recent flight without donning a mask.

Peter Menage of Palmer, Alaska, works in the remote North Slope oilfields along the Arctic Ocean in far northern Alaska. He must fly every three weeks from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay for his job. Menage has a doctor’s note exempting him from wearing a face covering, but Alaska has refused to grant him an exception in violation of several federal laws, the motion for a temporary restraining order states.

The legality and constitutionality of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate is now in the hands of the chief justice of the United States after the Supreme Court docketed Thursday an emergency application — from a 4-year-old Florida boy who suffers from autism and can’t medically wear a face covering — to stop the Transportation Security Administration from enforcing the requirement.

The appeal of a lower-court order denying a stay arrived in the chambers of Chief Justice John Roberts just hours after President Biden announced Thursday his administration is extending the FTMM a third time until mid-March.

A 4-year-old Florida boy who suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder and can’t medically wear a face covering is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block the Transportation Security Administration’s ability to enforce the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate, which President Biden plans to announce today his administration is going to extend a third time until mid-March.

In an emergency application delivered to the high court Wednesday – which should be docketed, assigned a case number, and submitted to Chief Justice John Roberts today – Michael Seklecki Jr. of Sanford, Florida, his father Michael Sr., and Lucas Wall of Washington, D.C., jointly ask the Supreme Court to stay enforcement of the mandate pending final disposition of their petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals. Michael Sr. and Wall can’t tolerate covering their face due to their anxiety disorders.

The U.S. Department of Transportation determined JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines violated federal law when they refused to grant a disabled Virginia man mask exemptions, a win for Americans with medical conditions battling the airlines over their extremely restrictive policies on face coverings.

DOT found JetBlue violated the Air Carrier Access Act by failing to provide an accommodation to a passenger with a disability with respect to the carrier’s mask policy for Kleanthis Andreadakis’ October 2020 request to fly maskless from Richmond, Virginia, to Boston, Massachusetts, for the birth of his first granddaughter.

A disabled Missouri veteran asked a federal appeals court Wednesday to order the Transportation Security Administration to reinstate his Pre-Check membership, which the agency suspended three weeks after he sued it to overturn the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate. Pre-Check allows known travelers who register with TSA to use expedited airport security lanes.

Anthony Eades, 40, of Warsaw, Missouri, has been a Pre-Check member for five years. He’s part of a group of 13 disabled flyers plus a former flight attendant from nine states and the District of Columbia who filed six lawsuits Oct. 19 around the country charging TSA with exceeding its legal authority by continuing to extend a requirement that all public-transportation passengers don face masks.

Then on Nov. 10, the agency sent him a letter stating “As a result of recurrent checks and based on a comprehensive background check, TSA was unable to determine that you pose a sufficiently low risk to transportation and national security to continue to be eligible for expedited airport security screening through the TSA Pre-Check Application Program.”

The Transportation Security Administration removed Friday a Kentucky frequent flyer it had placed on a terrorist watchlist last week after he sued the agency in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit challenging the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate.

Michael Faris of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, flew Saturday without hassle and mostly mask-free from Louisville to Ontario, California, via Denver only three days after filing an emergency motion with the 6th Circuit demanding he be removed from the watchlist. TSA had placed him on it within 48 hours of his filing suit against the agency Oct. 19 along with three disabled Ohioans who also can’t wear masks due to medical conditions.

Spirit Airlines harassed and demeaned a 4-year-old autistic boy Tuesday who is part of a lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration’s Federal Transportation Mask Mandate, demanding his parents provide a second doctor’s note that the child is mask-exempt and then illegally forcing the family to sit in the rear of both flights home from Boston to Orlando, Florida, via Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

When the Seklecki family tried to check in Tuesday morning for their flights home after Michael Jr.’s specialty medical appointment Monday at Boston Children’s Hospital, Spirit supervisor Angelie Aponte told his father, Michael Sr., that he didn’t send in paperwork to Spirit. However, Michael Sr. did submit Spirit’s illegal form and Michael Jr.’s doctor’s note the day before the flight along with four pages of notes explaining how’s Spirit’s mask policy violates the law in at least 21 ways.

A Kentucky frequent flyer filed an emergency motion for injunction this morning asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit to order the Transportation Security Administration to remove him from its terrorist watchlist, which the agency apparently placed him on after he and three Ohioans petitioned for review last week of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate.

The Court of Appeals immediately ordered TSA to file a response no later than 10 a.m. Wednesday. Michael Faris’ next flight for his job is Saturday. His motion asks the court for a ruling by Friday.

“TSA’s action placing Mr. Faris … on its terrorist watchlist for filing this lawsuit challenging the FTMM represents the absolute worst form of vengeance against citizens exercising our First Amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances,” according to the court filing. “Suing TSA does not constitute a threat of terrorism nor any other risk to transportation security that warrants placement on the watchlist.”
