That's standard issue - was here in the DFW area as well. Nobody is offended, it's just prudent precautions against some of the *nasty* diseases that these people may have been picked up. Especially in this era of nasty, bloodborne killer diseases.

None of the interviewed refugees seemed to have a problem with it.

I live south of Lubbock, We have families here too, in hotels. Our local convention center could not hold very many folks, and is not set up with showers etc.

I have called the local hotels and motels to find a family that needs a place to live. They are passing the message on.
