Feeling Safer Now?

First, let me get a little more anger off my chest regarding Mr. Tuberculosis. He's crying now that he's "sorry" that he may have put all those people at risk. Yeah, sorry his ass got caught is more like it. He says he didn't know he wasn't supposed to travel. Really? Then how come your sorry ass went to another European country and flew to Canada so you could drive into the country? Because you knew you were on no fly lists, that's why. And why do you suppose you were on no fly lists? Because you were a potential danger to passengers and not supposed to fly. Sorry, Mr. Lawyer, maybe you can fool a jury full of dumbasses (which, by my estimation, is about 75% of the population), but you can't fool me.

Now on to the meat of this post.

What is up with Homeland Security? A customs agent lets him pass into the country despite knowing that the man was being sought by health authorities. The guard decided that Mr. Potential Contageous "did not look sick" and so let him go. So now these guards think they are doctors and can make diagnosis on visual inspection? What if he was a terrorist on his way to New York City that had been infected with bubonic plague or something worse and was driving in while still asymptomatic. Gee, he didn't look sick? Gee, he didn't look like a terrorist?

We're screwed — and not in a good way.
