DHS: Those with flu symptoms will be destroyed.
A quote from the Department of Homeland Security website:
We're also actively monitoring travelers at our land, sea, and air ports. We're watching them for signs of illness, and we have appropriate protocols in place to deal with those who are sick. Precautions are being taken to protect travelers and border personnel. Anyone exhibiting symptoms is being referred to an isolation room where they can be evaluated by a public health official before proceeding to their destruction.
The site has now been changed to read, "before proceeding to their destination." However, a footnote still exists that references the typo and includes the original phrasiology. Man, what a scary typo.

Wow! This is just another example of how effing egotistical these DHS folks and all federal employees are. As evident in the videos posted to youtube of dhs border agents stomping an ordained minister into submission because he refused a search. Conjures memories of movies like “outbreak”. Out of my cold dead hands MF!!
