Might as well have ICE there.
Where is BWI?

How long do you think it will take before Mexicanos start seeing things going downhill and start fleeing here in droves.
Yay, someone finally got a spine.
Well, we can’t have this flu getting anywhere near the elites in Washington, now, can we?
We need to shut down all movement to and from Mexico until we see how severe this strain of flu is.
Must have had the fish.
This is good news. If this starts happening enough, maybe they will close the borders! The dang borders need to be closed.
Any minute now, the passengers will all be shoeless, and a parking ticket will be on the window of the plane.
I live in Orlando. Although I’m concerned about the possible cases here, there is another situation that I’m alarmed about. My assistant has a part-time job in the evenings at a clothing store to earn extra money. One of her co-workers at the store is going to Mexico on vacation this weekend. My assistant and everyone else she works with at the part-time job are begging her not to go. They fear that she might become infected and pass it on to them when she returns to work next week. My assistant is so concerned that she is considering quitting the part-time job. She only has it for extra spending money because she likes to dress well and she also gets free clothes from the job.
I’m not encouraging her one way or the other, but at the same time I’m hoping she does quit because if she gets it, then I’ll probably catch it from her as we use the same phone and are together in a small office all day.
I know that people save up for their vacations and look forward to them, but I think anyone going to Mexico right now is an absolute fool and they are putting themselves and everyone else they come in contact with upon their return at risk. The borders need to be closed!
A little “reminder” to the House of Representatives on the correct way to vote on the HHS secretary.
So you board a flight from Mexico and you hear somebody up front coughing and sneezing and you’re stuck in a little aluminum tube with them for four or five hours...can the day get any worse? Then you land and you see a bunch of folks in hazmat suits...

BALTIMORE, Md. - Officials at Baltimore-Washington International Airport say an AirTran flight from Mexico that landed Tuesday evening was held after two passengers on board the plane experienced flu-like symptoms on the plane. All passengers were later cleared by officials, who said there was no danger.
The flight was held upon landing at the airport just before 7 p.m. An airport official told FOX 5 that the flight originated in Cancun, Mexico, and two passengers on the plane had flu-like symptoms.
Those two passengers were being examined out of an abundance of caution amid the current swine flu outbreak, the official said. Those passengers were later cleared.
The other passengers on the plane were allowed to continue on to customs, the official told FOX 5. There are no signs of any danger.
Listen, Hon, ain’t no earplane fulla Mezkins gonna pannik Baltamer peeps.
See a doctor, take some aspirin, drink lots of fluids, get plenty of bed rest, and maybe, just maybe, close the southern border.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
we should shut down the government to be safe.
The following was released by the CDC at 9PM EST tonight.
Interim Guidance to Assist Airline Flight Deck and Cabin Crew in Identifying Passengers Who May Have Swine Influenza at
http://cdc.gov/swineflu/aircrew.htm
It includes the following (note, news reports say the two sick guys on the plane had fever and nausea):
Interim Recommendations
During the swine influenza outbreak, extra vigilance is required to identify and report passengers with respiratory symptoms or fever. Any passenger who appears ill, or who reports not feeling well, should be observed or queried for the following signs or symptoms:
* Feeling feverish or temperature greater than 100°F (37.8°C) if measured. For children,feeling warm by parent’s report.
* Sore throat
* Cough
* Stuffy or runny nose
Any passengers observed to have or who report having two or more of these symptoms should be reported immediately to the CDC Quarantine Station of jurisdiction where the plane is expected to land.
Flight and cabin crew should follow airline guidelines for preventing spread of infection when interacting with these travelers.
What would America rather deal with or try to manage, 2,000 sick and ill people, or potentially tens of thousand of potentially infected, entering the U.S. every single day?
