After being stuffed into an airplane cabin for a long, redeye flight from overseas, you’re finally on your way home — but first, the government wants to shove a cotton swab up your nose.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is asking passengers returning from international destinations at four U.S. airports to volunteer for its Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) program.
Passengers at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C., and San Francisco International Airport can now have their nasal discharge anonymously sampled as they leave the travel hubs.

It’s an important study to do - in volunteers with informed consent.

Short answer: No!
Long answer:
Hell no!
If I want my nose picked I'll do it myself ... right in front of the CDC/TSA agent if necessary. After all, the cabin air is quite drying.

Considering that they have patented drug delivery by nasal swab, my answer would likely be no...

Every time I did a nasal swab to test for COVID I would start sneezing.

I always knew the CDC are a bunch of booger pickers.

If they are coming from Africa swab them for Ebola and 20 other diseases. And how about giving disease tests to the illegal alien swarms coming over our border?
