Whopee. Some people get to sue the airline, and I hope they sue their pants off. We are entitled to know who this infectious creature is, where he lives, and who else might have been in contact with him.

I don’t know why the gooberment is having such a fit over this. They let thousands of illegals cross the border each year with TB and other nasty diseases such as cholera, diphtheria, plague, leprosy, malaria, and viral hemorrhagic fevers

...and I hope they sue their pants off. Great. Now instead of just being strip-searched, we'll have to undergo a full health screening every time we want to get on a plane.

We are entitled to know who this infectious creature is, where he lives, and who else might have been in contact with him. How is the airline supposed to know if a passenger has TB or AIDS. Relatives can't even get that information without a court order.

For 10 years there has been a long, ugly, ongoing fight about allowing people infected with AIDS to immigrate here, and to visit here. So far, as far as I know, the AIDS victims are winning and cannot be barred from immigrating here, under “family reunification,” the annual immigration and H1B, regardless of how advanced their disease is.

It is Bush’s fault! Close the border! TB was gone in the US before the border was thrown open.

Only when you return from an oversees trip. The hell that is Customs and Immigration at the Houston and Miami airports is about to become more hellish, but what the hell are we supposed to do?

You overlook the possibility of a trojan horse of the bio weapon kind. Some turd either knowingly or by other means flies in a brings with him/her a plague of some sorts.
They cannot take over planes anymore or smuggle in small nukes but a host of viral weapons can be brought in live.
Kind of scary.
To: ca centered
Yes, TB and a number of other deadly diseases were eradicated in the U.S. until our borders were opened to all and sundry, but that started happening way before Bush took office. He just made it worse. I am now waiting for polio to return to our shores with some African or Indian subcontinent immigrants. There are several places in Africa where the Imams are telling people that polio vaccinations are the work of American devils. Please see my tagline.

I dont know why the gooberment is having such a fit over this. They let thousands of illegals cross the border each year with TB and other nasty diseases such as cholera, diphtheria, plague, leprosy, malaria, and viral hemorrhagic fevers That's just doing the job that Americans won't do. Remember we are a nation of immigrants who brought in new European diseases to the Western hemisphere.

Although I may have missed it I didn't see anything in this piece to suggest that the airline(s) involved knew of the passenger's health status.

Right now, I can assure you that he lives in a special hospital room with a high tech ventilation/filtering system and two-stage entry system, and is attended to by workers in disposable hazard suits.
Where he lived before his diagnosis is another story, but he sure got around a lot.
To: Pyro7480
If it was in the article, I missed it. Is the guy American? He’s in the hospital in the US, but his travel originated in Atlanta, he flew to Paris, ended up in Praque and flew back to Montreal, then drove to the US. Sort of a strange travel pattern.

When did that ever stop a lawsuit? When did that ever discourage a member of the bar? I predict they will not only sue Air France, they will sue their travel agents or online ticket providers. Never underestimate the ability of a lawyer to sniff out a tort.

They are only taking flights that other Americans refuse to take.
