The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued more than 900 civil penalties and over 2,700 warnings since February 2021 against individuals who failed to comply with federal face mask requirements, the government reported on Monday.

In a TSA report (pdf), the U.S. agency said it had proposed $644,398 in fines to 922 people who did not comply with a transit mandate requiring people to wear a mask. The fines were issued on commercial flights, in airports and train stations, or on public transit services.
