>>>If I'm understanding media reports (hysteria) correctly, the patient had tested positive for a multi-drug resistant strain of TB, but was asymptomatic and therefore not considered contageous.<<<
That's what they're saying now. Full blown hysteria for homeland security reasons over a US personal injury lawyer sneaking back into the country. Meanwhile, British Airways has daily flights between London (popular Al Qaeda hangout) and Mexico City (popular launching spot for trips across hundreds of miles of unguarded US border) http://www.britishairways.com/travel/fx/public/en_gb?eId=111011×tamp=0603055435.
Everytime someone beats the US/Canada border guards a major homeland security crisis is declared. Meanwhile, a steady flow of who knows what is maintained across the Mexican border but the only concern with that is in what fashion those who made it here should be processed for legal status. Radical muslim terrorists only enter the US from the north or the northeast?
