I just finished flying across the country yesterday, and I'm fairly certain this is accurate. All the airports have replaced "make sure nobody is tampering with your luggage" with "Federal law requires all individuals to wear masks". All the onflight videos that show the mouth breathers how to use a seat belt has everyone wearing masks, the pre-flight instructions have been lengthened by about 20-30% by going over the "mask rules", there are stickers EVERYWHERE for social distancing (rubbed my fingernail under one, and they're there to stay, these aren't temporary stickers). They've rearranged their entire business model to include masks (i.e. spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of man-hours) so they're not going to be going back to "normal" any time soon.
I've given this topic some thought over the years (I'm morbidly fascinated with the idea), and I keep circling around to the same argument against it (without a LOT of changes to our current environment), the same argument I use when my friends warn me that civil war is imminent: Geography. Between miles of absolute nothing in some parts of the country, two mountain ranges, rivers aplenty, and small towns/villages scattered every 10 miles or so in other parts of the country, the Federal Government would have to grow significantly if it wanted to put a plan into place to round up conservatives. Just look at a county map of red counties vs blue counties. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but just like a civil war in the modern US, nobody has yet to outline exactly HOW it would happen, as in Step A, then B, then C, and so on. They have a hypothetical starting point, and a very well defined end point, but nothing to connect those two points.
