This passenger may have thought it clever to place panties over his nose rather than wear a proper face mask, but airline employees were clearly not amused.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A Florida man has been banned from flying with United Airlines after attempting to wear thong underwear over his face instead of a mask.

The passenger now tells WFLA he’s attempted this same stunt about 20 times before.

Video of the incident shows two flight attendants talking to Adam Jenne, who had been wearing the garment to cover his nose and mouth while he waited for his flight to take off from Fort Lauderdale to Washington, D.C.

“You’re going to have to come off the airplane. We’re not going to let you travel,” the flight attendant tells Jenne.
