Why aren’t we installing fever screening cameras at every airport checkpoint? (Obama doesn’t seem to have a problem spending money. Why stop now?)

Thomas Eric Duncan passed 3 temperature checks. He did not have a fever when he was flying.

Duncan was screened three times before he boarded his flight in Liberia to Brussels, Kesselly said.
“The first screening was at the gate, before you get to the parking lot. The second time is before you enter the terminal building and the third is before you board the flight. At every point your temperature is scanned.”
His temperature at those checkpoints was a consistent 97.3 degrees Fahrenheit, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chief Thomas Frieden told reporters Thursday. “Basically, he didn’t have a fever,” Frieden said, noting that the Ebola patient’s temperature was taken by a trained CDC health care worker with a thermometer approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
you can be infected for a few days without a fever
fever screening is not enough
by the time you develop the fever, you’re definitely contagious... but it’s also too late
