To check for Ebola in airports, they are taking temperatures using forehead thermometers. It seems to me all someone would have to do is use a paper towel and put cool water on the forehead just before the temperature is taken.

They tried using rectal thermometers, but they found it had serious negative effects on African airlines business. Oddly enough, the flights to San Francisco were still quite busy.

... but it touches bodily fluids. The way to do it is with thermal imagers. Everyone walking down the hallways would be measured.

There are other methods of taking an Ebola patent’s temperature that would present more of a risk.

This is Ebola we are talking about. An old school thermometer up the butt is called for!

This is a lie that you have to touch something!! Is absolutely airborn. The Government is lying to falsely prevent a panic. These idiots are LETTING THESE SICK PEOPLE CONTAMINATE OUR CHILDREN. There will be hell to pay for these liars. Quarantine all on that planes from infected countries NOW!!. Stop the flights from sick countries and no visitors !! Screen passenger lists on all international flights for country of origin.
1.4 million dyng in Africa. IT SPREADS IN THE AIR!!!

I’ve found the forehead thermometers inaccurate - they always seem to read low. Flushed kid, hot to the touch, 98.0 F. And Ebola virus is present in sweat, in every body fluid.

Busiest time of the year in Dallas - Texas State Fair, OU and Texas at the Cotton Bowl, Cowboys playing the Texans. Just could not have picked another time of the year when so many people will be headed to Dallas.

TSA should be able to take your temperature. It will give them something productive to do while they are all up in your ass anyway.
