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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Legal immigration process involves health screening.
But illegals can bring all sorts of diseases in with them. Recently a new, antibiotic-resistant pneumonia-like cold has shown up locally.
Our area gets heavy illegals influx.
Duh?
And now Bush and his fellow RINO’s and Dem’s insist on legalizing the 20+ million illegals we have now, and opening the flood gates to more?
They nuts? Or being paid off? (Bush and RINO’s). For Dems, the payoff is a flood of new Dem voters who will insure Dem control of the USA for perpetuity.
