Vanity-possible illegal immigrant flight to Baltimore
Vanity | July 12, 2014 | Cyclotic

Posted on 07/17/2014 3:28:15 PM PDT by cyclotic

I'm awaiting a flight in Phoenix to Baltimore. 11 teenage Hispanic boys and four non-Hispanic adults just sat down all in a row in the terminal. The boys have not said a word and oddly, none of them have shoelaces.

This is weird and I'm not sure what to make of it or what to do. Being in a TSA zone, I sure don't want to start a protest.

As many as 15 percent of U.S. commercial airlines that carry more than 100 passengers lack HEPA filters. And there are currently no standards or regulations that enforce filtration. Even though cabin air is exchanged through the system about 20 to 30 times per hour, there remains a risk, albeit minor, of airborne disease transmission. But who exactly is at risk of infection? And what are they at risk of catching?

Risk of transmission
Generally speaking, your risk of airborne disease transmission depends on how close you’re seated to an infected individual. A safe distance of at least two rows during an eight-hour flight was traditionally assumed sufficient, but this estimate came from studies on the spread of tuberculosis, a contagious bacterial infection of the lower lungs. When a single passenger with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a viral respiratory infection, infected 22 fellow passengers on a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing back in 2003, researchers realized that passengers as far away as seven rows were at risk.While increasing ventilation can help to decrease the risk of airborne transmission to nearby passengers, the greater risk of infection comes not necessarily from the air, but from direct contact. Diseases like influenza, for example, are more likely to be contracted when someone coughs or sneezes directly on or near you or when you touch an infected surface and then touch an entry pathway on the body, like the eyes or mouth. In many respects, then, airplanes are not much different than other forms of public transportation, like buses or trains. Washing your hands and avoiding touching your face will therefore help to further prevent disease above and beyond proper air filtration.

To Maryland, swell. God willing they end up in Montgomery County.

What did the handler(s) say to you?

I asked why they didn’t have shoelaces. She said they were in juvenile detention. I said where from. She said border. I asked if she wasn’t ashamed of herself for facilitating an invasion of illegals. She said have a nice day and went to report the contact to her boss.

Prayers that you have a safe flight.

Nice. I woulda raised my voice a little as she walked off...something like, I'd be having a better day if you weren't escorting illegals with unknown diseases! HA! I woulda, too. Just like I gave the TSA agents copies of pocket Constitutions the last time I flew.

Are they on your flight? What is the Southwest flight number and arrival time? I assume it is to BWI? I’m sure we can get some VA/DC/MD freepers to protests them on arrival.

Then again if its MD they will charge you with a hate crime.

I wonder if you can fly for free too if you take out your shoelaces?

Good for you!!!!

The time for silence, tolerance and PC crap is OVER.

This IS Biological Warfare against the American public.

Get some pictures if you can, so you can use them later to sue the airlines for your illness. Seriously, hope you don’t get sick. Stay safe.

Don’t panic yet unless they are seated near you.
