CNSNews.com) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has produced a video designed to instruct commercial airline crews on what they need to know and do considering that someone suffering from Ebola might end up on one of their flights.

The video advises crew members working in the passenger cabins of commercial airliners on international flights to watch for people “who seem unwell or are using the restroom many times.”

If you fly from Europe to US at every airport you must pass through a TSA screening and go thru a metal detector.

Why is temperature readings not included in this screening? Those forehead reading hand-held devices are maybe $50 and can be readily calibrated.

Why not? - well if your objective is to get as many diseased people into your country then this would be the procedure of choice.

Just what is “too many times”? Does this stuff instill trust in the “authorities”? Do you really think they know what they are doing?

Sight to see: This photo of a man who appears to be an Orthodox Jew shows him seated aboard a plane while wrapped in a plastic bag, drawing controversy and question.

How about just keeping them off the plane in the first place?!?!?

Makes too much sense? Racist?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If you want something to go wrong, put the government in charge. Especially Obola’s government.

“Why is temperature readings not included in this screening? “

You could always cool your forehead down with omething cold.
A better one is you could always take Tylenol or aspirin to get the fever down. Plus not everyone has a fever with Ebola. That sometimes comes after the vomiting and other signs appear.

We need to stop passengers from entering who originally came from the Ebola countries or quarantine them for 21 days at their country of origin.

Words escape me right now trying to get a handle on just how unforgivably, hideously stupid these protocols are. We are truly being governed by the most helpless fools that have ever governed. Still, still, there is no loudly proclaimed outrage by our elected officials to mirror the disgust and revulsion felt by tens of millions. I am referring to banning flights from the affected areas and our open borders.

I think I'd have to find a new career path.

I could deal with the muslim bombers and standard issue islamowhackjobs, but not the scary stuff I can't see.

Kinda funny, but breathing recycled tobacco smoke wasn't that big of a scare, but now the thought of being inside a tube breathing the recycled and incubating mix of whatever from wherever hour after hour would be a career changing concern for me.

I remember when flying was one of the coolest things I could think of doing and one of the best things about my all-time favorite job.

My, my, how things have changed...and quickly, too.
