Traveled to Hawaii: had to go through 3 sets of full stops after deplaning. 1st w/ airline personnel - checking to make sure I filled out appropriate hawaii.gov paperwork. 2nd w/ airport podium guy - I was to ask where I would be staying, and because it wasn’t any resort, rather with a family member; I had to call them on the phone, and he had them verify the address that I put on the electronic form. Then I waited in another line. 3rd w/ National guard - this was to verify another online form for the specific island I was visiting After verifying that information, he called over a police officer, they looked at my paperwork, and whispered a few words. (I was at the January 6 event, so I thought they were going to pull me aside to interrogate me lol!). After all that. They said I could be on my way. I have to quarantine for 10 days. The National Guard visited my location two times in the first five days, to ensure I had not left the quarantine area. This is madness! (on a sidenote, the property is beautiful, they have over an acre of land - so I am not suffering by any means). But seriously folks! I just about lost it trying to get through the airport. And just think, there are actual people out there that think this is OK. It’s a sad day for America!

Arrest, criminal offense, $5000, up to a year in jail. I don’t have the exact paperwork in front of me right now, so that could’ve changed from a couple months ago, but that’s what I found online.

Arrest, criminal offense, $5000 fine, up to a year in jail. I don’t have my specific paperwork in front of me, but this article is from last summer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/05/20/hawaii-isnt-messing-around-when-it-comes-enforcing-tourist-quarantines/%3foutputType=amp
