That leaves a couple of alternatives to testing ~ one is to close the borders (by shutting down flights from US to Mexico), or giving all the passengers seditives and stacking them up in the waiting areas pending results.

WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - The United States is not testing airplane travelers from Mexico for the swine flu virus that has heightened fears of a possible pandemic, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Sunday...

that would not be politically correct for Msssss Napolitano
One might almost think this was planned. Almost.
Its only a declared Public Health Emergency, what makes you think they’d do something right?
Of course not. That would be “racist”. Not appear racist is far more important than the health, safety, and security of US citizens. And while we’re on that subject, citizen is a quasi-racist term too.
Ms. Napolitano will, however, order the detainment and testing of all veterans and right wing extremists. She thinks that they are obviously the main source of swine flu in this country.
It would be profiling. Instead, all people who voted for McCain will be strip searched at airports.
Madness? THIS IS OBAMA!!!
I’m not sure how they could implement a test. Aren’t there millions of travelers flying every day?
There are lots of other logistical questions to consider among which: How quickly do the tests produce results? Where would they do the testing anyway? Are there enough tests to go around? When, how, where are the tests ordered and delivered? What sort of administrative infrastructure is set up to deal with it?
The good news is that we’re moving into the warmer months which will reduce the medium for the virus to thrive.

Illegal aliens, read above
Dramatic increase in diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, yellow fever, leprosy, same enforcement as above.
We have a Mexican restaurant on every street corner down in Houston. Many times the help barely speaks English (you know, that language that should be our official language...press #1).
Dishwashers, Food prep, Janitorial staff.....eeewwwwww!
Thinkin I'll stay in the office to eat lunch for a couple of weeks.
I wonder if all those guys on the golf course know Obama has been exposed?
Why not at least use the fever scanners that airports used during the SARS outbreak?
Probably afraid of being branded as “racists” by La Raza.
Because Rahm needs all the emergencies he can get!
The proper handling of future democrat voters is a hell of a lot more important than the health/security of the American public. Everybody knows that!
They could CLOSE THE BORDER! Maybe when hell freezes over.
That is what Japan is doing.
Phase 1-3: Predominantly Animal Infections.
In these phases, the influenza virus is contained, for the most part, to the animal population, in so-called "Animal to Animal" infections. Animal to Human infections can follow, with limited Human to Human infections. The majority of human
Infections in this phase occur because of contact with the infected animals, or because of contact with someone who has had contact with the infected animals.
Phase 4: Sustained Human To Human
This phase marks what is known as "community-level outbreaks," meaning the Human to Human infections become more widespread without the virus diminishing in strength or dying out. This phase is decidedly more dangerous than Phases 1-3, as the threat of pandemic is much higher if the infection has already spread throughout a locale.
Phase 5-6: Pandemic
Phase 5 marks the spread of the virus to 2 countries within 1 WHO-designated region, and is the strongest signal that a global pandemic is imminent. Phase 6 is the global pandemic itself, meaning that community-level outbreaks are seen in at least 1 other country in a different WHO region, in addition to the ones used to those defined in Phase 5. At this point, the organization of strategy to battle the virus will have been underway, and the treatment should be in full swing.
It’s OK! Mexico is checking passengers.
This could be the begining of the end for the LUNATIC/MAD OBAMA/NAPOLITANO and Co
THE SWINE FLU GATE...
They’ll probably test Christians and Veterans for the flu instead.
We’re apparently in stage 7...NOTHING WE CAN DO WILL STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!
Why would the people traveling from Mexico to the US be of any particular race?
Most people on flights from Mexico to the US, are from the US, not Mexico.
They are probably screening those who appear noticeably sick, but not the others. They are not even sure of the incubation period, so many who travel would by asymptomatic. There are much more effective uses of time.
This must be their “Zero Population” plan. Perhaps they can make Paul Erlich ‘right’ once in his life before he dies.
The ones who brought the flu into NY, were American travelers who went to Cancun on vacation.
Read this from the BBChttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/8018428.stm
Probably, but it is time to stop futzing around. How do we implement this?
1) ALL travel to Mexico is suspended. No exceptions.
2 ALL U.S. Citizens must return within seven days or they will not be allowed to return for six months.
2) ONLY U.S Citizens are allowed to re-enter from Mexico...period.
3) Those U.S Citizens who return are required to submit to testing and/or vaccination within seven days. If they are insured, then they are given priority status to visit their physicians. Those who are not insured are given priority status at all public hospitals throughout the country.
4) Those who do not comply are subject to fine or imprisonment.
Does this sound harsh? Yes. That's the idea. Are there flaws in this plan? Absolutely. I'm just a guy with a laptop, but at least I'm offering some ideas. If I were in charge, I would ask real experts to point out the flaws and refine the plan.
My point is this: We need to stop messing around and formulate policy. This is not a game.
Better to shut down most travel from Mexico now than shut down whole cities later. But these guys are MORONS. And Obama always votes “present.”
Nahhh you wouldn’t want to upset the Mexicans now would ya?
Let em all in, even those with disease.
Well, that's real bright.
It almost sounds like they WANT everyone to get infected. Sorry to get all tinfoil-hattish, but it's such a peculiar flu (swine/avian/human) that it sounds almost manufactured.
And such an abrupt onset. Could they have manufactured it, then dispersed it? They've done it before. They did something like this in San Francisco, in the 40's or 50's. They released something into the atmosphere. (Sorry to be so vague. It was before my time. I don't even know what keywords I would use to look it up. I just remember reading about it.)
The point is, they will use this flu epidemic to impose more regulations on us, and to force us to have inoculations, as they did in 1976 (which I don't remember). From the article: "Mass vaccinations started in October, but within weeks reports started coming in of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disease, right after taking the shot. Within two months, 500 people were affected, and more than 30 died."
You know, I, too, might almost think this is following a sick, twisted script of some sort. Almost.
It is often better for people to get infected from early generations of a new disease than later mutations.
You’d better believe that at this very moment Rahm is scared to death that his Lord (Satan) may have already called him home (by exposing him to the deadly strain of man-bird-pig virus).
Pretty quick stuff eh?!
Madness indeed! All borders should be closed via national guard ON the border. No air travel between USA and Mexico for whatever time it takes to contain it. I doubt this will happen until some die in the USA and will then be too late. God help us.
They don’t check much else either.
TRANSLATION: "We can't tick off the Hispanic voters."
Janet and her trained goons have more important people to screen.
By the way, the fact that TSA goons carry badges should outrage every legitimate police officer in the nation.
News this afternoon was that the golden thread is that all cases have a Mexican connection. Yes, it is true!!
A patient in a mental hospital has his last test to determine if he is ready to return home. He is taken into a room with the faucet running and the sink overflowing. He is handed a mop and told to clean up the mess. If he fails to turn off the faucet before mopping, he stays in the mental hospital.
The faucet is the Mexican border in this case. Do we turn it off, or stay in the insane asylum??
Why??
That was good.
Subtle, and good.
"There's no reason to close the border. Just relax."
Later generations, in this case, appear to be mutating into something more deadly.
