Ebola and Taking Temperatures with Forehead Thermometers

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.

Accuracy of forehead-scanning thermometers doubted.

Under the tongue traditional method is accurate.

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.

That's retarded, sir.

... 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!

put this one in your mouth...

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.

They can do it while NHS is making their inspection.

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.

Like I'd let them stick a TSA thermometer in my mouth.not.
