So this trial attorney was flagged by the border agent's computer, but the agent waited a whole minute and waved him in?

Border agents are supposed to let everyone in, aren’t they? Like the greeters at Walmart. If the agent had tried to stop him, the agent could have been thrown in prison. Those are the rules these days. If the libs and RINOs want those rules applied, they must be applied across the board. You don’t get to use profiling to detain some, while letting everyone else in. We either have a border, or we don’t. Can’t have it both ways.

But he did take away TB-guy’s travel size shampoo

>>A globe-trotting Atlanta lawyer with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis was allowed back into the U.S. by a border inspector who disregarded a computer warning to stop him and don protective gear, officials said Thursday.

I suspect making an executive decision like this is well above the border inspector’s pay grade. What a twit.

There’s no point in having safety nets to catch such travelers if the nets are going to be ignored.

Somebody save us from Homeland Security.

He`s a personal blame the other guy lawyer and they have him under quaratine? Well there goes our border patrol.

[kittymyrib]

Hmmm...he’s a personal injury lawyer. He would be suing a guy like himself. Sometimes there is justice.

[BykrBayb]

I have some questions that hopefully can be answered by some FReepers who’ve followed this more closely.

How and when did he find out he had TB? I think I read that he found out in January, but I could be mistaken.

How and when did his fil find out?

How did he find out it was drug resistant? Did his fil give him medication, and it failed to work? Did he visit a doctor for treatment while on his honeymoon? Was he required to be tested for TB upon entry to one of his stops?

Who are the “federal health officials” who advised him not to board another flight? How did they find out he had TB? If these “federal health officials” are from the CDC, nevermind. I already know they’re refusing to answer the question.

If these “federal health officials” knew, why did they merely advise him not to board another flight? Why didn’t they do something to actually prevent him from boarding another flight? Did they really expect a spoiled brat to voluntarily remain in a foreign country indefinitely, to be quarantined and treated by “doctors” of socialized medicine?

The border patrol was shocked. Why start enforcing the border now? We’ve not done it before???

[VOA]

A globe-trotting Atlanta lawyer with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis
was allowed back into the U.S. by a border inspector who disregarded
a computer warning to stop him and don protective gear, officials
said Thursday. The inspector has been removed from border duty.

Remind me again, why do we have a customs/border-inspector service?

I suspect the thing to do is IMMEDIATELY FIRE all the management,
then promote folks like the lady agent that sniffed out the
Millenium Bomber, and see about re-hiring anybody that was
let go for not being a "team player" or complaining about the
ineffectiveness of our border control.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why don’t we have border security?

[mewzilla]

Note to excuse the boneheaded border agent, but if Speaker lied to the agent in any way in order to facilitate his entry, is that a crime? Anyone know?
