How do they do it anybody? Individual thermometers in the mouth as passengers come off planes? Scanned Infra-red heat seeking cameras across the arrivals areas? The future stares us in the face I think.

problem is that by the time a rise in body tempurature may indicate some sort of health problem, that individual at the check point traveling where ever may have been incubating and sheding the virus for 3-8-10 days before showing symptoms.( a rise in body temp)
This won't work except to be used as a lie detector for customs agents.
They just want to sound like they are doing something.
So if one person has a fever do they quarenteen all passengers? no. if one test positive for h5n1 do they close the airport? no.
The fever just says "I'm here and you're too late."
Poorer countries in Africa and the middle east will probably copy this example but due to lack of funds will use rectal thermoters.
mmmmm.......
if everybody is not on the same page and they are not doing it everywhere it just doesn't matter what one area does.

Speculation is the only tool we have with a threat that can circle the globe in 30 days. Test results&news is slow.Factor in human conditions,politics, money&bingo!The truth!Facts come after the fact.

Corn you make some excellent points, why ban chicken imports in one country and have five more infected countries still importing chicken. It's just useless this way
