H1N1

They take Swine Flu seriously in China. Upon landing in Beijing yesterday multiple masked medics stormed the plane and used a space-aged forehead scanners to take the temperature of every single passenger on the plane. This picture shows a passenger 3 rows ahead ahead of me who registered a fever. This process went on for nearly 30 minutes. The flu police brought out a secondary scanner as well as an old fashioned mercury thermometer to validate the passenger's reading before handing her a facemask and sending us all on our way. I was just happy not to be sent on a 1-week quarantine vacation.

So why just quarantine the Mayor of New Orleans who was also on the flight?
