Passengers Cheat Flu Scan With Fever Reducers

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-two-aspirin-and-infect-me-in-the-morning dept.

Nguyen Van Chau, head of Ho Chi Minh City's Health Department, has revealed that many sick passengers who flew to Ho Chi Minh City used fever reducers to fool temperature scanners at the airport. The government has confirmed 26 people infected with H1N1 flu, 23 of whom came by air after traveling in the United States or Australia. State media reports that the discovery of these scanner cheaters led to the detection of several infected cases later.

    I won't get you sick. Your weak immune system is responsible. To paraphrase, if you can't handle the disease, get off the planet. That's what Darwin's all about. Better luck next life, poopsy.

    Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire, and respond likewise to some people...I can afford it.
