Jackson Jambalaya

so no cavity searches? bummer.

No-touch temperature checks in airports are not unheard of. I know that Incheon International in Seoul does it. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other airports did it as well. Depending on the cost, it might actually be a good idea.

Well, that should certainly speed up the deplaning process!

Butt I brush my teeth every day!?!

8:27, advancing your idea just a little further down the road.....say I arrive and the no-touch screener determines my temperature to be 102 degrees. Then what? Am I sent to the cab-stand? What if my reading is 94? Do the baggage handlers strap me to the conveyor?

It's a plumb damned dumb, half thought out idea with no plan of action and no procedural instructions. And the dunce who came up with it (got it so ordained) is now wearing a black robe, wielding a gavel.

Incheon does do infrared scans of passengers. Schiphol also does, I believe, though it is done less conspicuously than Incheon. Pretty sure neither do Lo-rita's type of temperature-taking, though.

Setting aside the [sarcasm] one or two marginal differences [/sarcasm] between JAN and both ICN and AMS, you're aware that these two major global airports do this to spot non-metal contraband being smuggled (sometimes live contraband in Incheon) and not to check passengers' health, right?

Although... the more I think about it, maybe we should do some type of screening for passengers deplaning in Jackson. Warrant checks could be a start. Past-due child support? Drug testing? Lo-rita may have been on to something! Go buy yourself a new hat, girl!

Let's get the phalanx of legal firms on call for the Airport Authority to drum up some million dollar billings studying the idea.

Rectal thermometers are technically no-touch.

Maybe she went on a cruise that required this? They establish your temperature through looking at your pupils with a machine. I just don't understand this type of measure at an airport or why someone who is so sensitive about personal rights would believe it is a good thing. Some people run a degree or so above normal with medications. Others are a degree or so low constantly. Where would she quarantine the sick or would they just have to return to the airplane after infecting a whole plane load? Bad to worst idea I have ever heard presented.

WHEREAS hats are very classy and make the wearer look rich, and

WHEREAS hats are preferred by the dopest and deffest rappers, and

WHEREAS the people of Jackson don't be looking classy enough, and

WHEREAS my cousin Marquanita just opened a pawn shop and hat store on Ellis Avenue.

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED that all citizens of Jackson, Mississippi be required to wear hats or be fined a zillion dollars.

SO ORDAINED, LaRita Cooper-Stokes, for council ward three!

@ 8:05...

LMFAO !!!!!!!

Ebola was so last year.
