This issue doesn't have to do with that. It has to do with enforcing the law DURING the flight. Someone who comes to the airport with a mask - gets on the plane with a mask - and then takes the mask off after the plane is in the air...
CANNOT be ordered to put the mask on. They can't be ordered, because if he refuses - then what? What consequence will he suffer during that flight? You can't arrest him and put him in a jail cell - he's on an airplane, in the air. You can't kick him out. You can't wrestle him down and superglue a mask to his face.
There is no way to make anyone wear a mask in flight. Period.

How about flight attendants photo document the offenders actions, pilot calls ahead and offender is taken into custody upon landing and charged with assault on everyone on board?
May sound far fetched and extreme, but if told that is what will happen the offender might reconsider and think of his/her own best interest. Just a thought.
