“After a forehead scanner indicated a fever — which she attributed to being flushed from distress at being detained for hours with no explanation — an oral thermometer registered 98.6 degrees.”

My normal temperature is 97.7. I feel a tad feverish when the thermometer registers 98.6.
She registered 101 according to the NY Times.
