“may be subject to fever detection, he said. Temperatures will be taken with a non-contact thermometer, federal officials said.”

Okay well this is a start but I don’t like the “may” in that sentence, also I’ve heard non-contact thermometers are notoriously inaccurate (they mean the forehead wands right?)also how does this cut down on those who have either taken something to suppress the fever, or like Duncan, not yet be that symptomatic? I know they probably feel they’re doing the best they can, not being able to close off travel from those areas and all, but I still think some infected people will get through.

IDK, but I would trust my ear thermometer which I have compared against my mouth, and armpit results for accuracy, sooner than a remote infrared scan.
