a good friend texted me last night who was traveling from kurdistan trying to get back in the united states and this was his text. "screening before u.s. flights is very long but ridiculous. they didn't ask any questions or check temp. here they checked temperature on the plane with thermal visor and then again at the airport." apparently we have improved and are beefing up screening to some extent. this has to be done at least from china and europe now on a permanent basis going forward. i was thinking, if we can do facial recognition to catch terrorists and other criminals trying to come through our ports of entry now which we can, surely we can screen at least somewhat for disease and illness going forward. again, so we don't go through what we are going through right now again. america without technology, someone reminded me of this, without any technology, we had common sense at the beginning of the last century. remember coming through ellis island? we had people completely separated from the american population until it was assured that they weren't going to bring disease into
