Travelers would have temperatures checked at about a dozen airports under plans that are still under discussion


U.S. officials are preparing to begin checking passengers’ temperatures at roughly a dozen airports as soon as next week, according to people familiar with the matter.

After reading Cosmo's thread on the OT and thinking about the TSA running this, all I can do is

I can see this for international flights, as that'd be more of my concern of diseases traveling cross-continent. But for the family of four going to disney world?

What if someone went out the night before and had one too many. Early next morning they head to the airport.
Good chance they have a slight temperature. Are they screwed?

Like I posted on the Poli thread about this... What a waste of time and money.

80% of people are asymptomatic, so you are going through all of this to catch 1 out of every 100k that have it. Not to mention denying people that simply have a normal fever the ability to travel.

But hey, its the TSA, they can’t catch 90% of contraband that is run by them in tests
