The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has sent a memo to some health care providers noting procedures to be followed if the swine flu outbreak eventually makes quarantines necessary.
DHS Assistant Secretary Bridger McGaw circulated the swine flu memo, which was obtained by CBSNews.com, on Monday night. It says: "The Department of Justice has established legal federal authorities pertaining to the implementation of a quarantine and enforcement. Under approval from HHS, the Surgeon General has the authority to issue quarantines."

Looks like those FEMA camps will be occupied sooner than anyone expected.

They didn’t bother to do this with horny AIDS patients.
Why the swine flu?

The memo from McGaw, who is DHS' acting assistant secretary for the private sector, also said: "U.S. Customs and Coast Guard Officers assist in the enforcement of quarantine orders. Other DOJ law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Marshals, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives may also enforce quarantines. Military personnel are not authorized to engage in enforcement."
Well, that's a relief. Interesting that it's too late to shut down the freekin border, but we've got this.

the Surgeon General has the authority to issue quarantinesGood thing they have not found a tax cheat to fill this spot. Yet.

the Surgeon General has the authority to issue quarantinesOnly one problem with this...we don't have a Surgeon General yet...Obama hasn't bothered to appoint one.

Why am I imagining Americans being hauled off to quarantined areas and illegals running free? Must be #4183 in Hussein’s playbook.

and the fun begins, we were warned by Biden that the Administration would do something in the face of crisis that would require the 'strength and courage' of the American people to stand with the administration.
Create a fake pandemic, shutdown the economy - thereby making the slight recession into a full blown depression - add a little civil unrest (overplayed by the state friendly media)...and rush in with the Statist calvary to save the day!
BHO's Kristallnacht?
Welome to the new 4th Reich, were Conservatives will be taking the place of the Jews.
How is that for some lunatic fringe conspiracy theory?
Or is it?

So, no quarantines for Aids infected patients, but we’re going to have quarantines for a small number of cases of mild flu? And, so the death of our Republic has begun.

You'd better watch out we might all be infected with “Freeper Flu”. What better reason for nobama to indefinitely quarantine us all at Gitmo?
