I'm surprised we don't have a TSA nurse position. They put you in those huge scanners and can see everything. It wouldn't be hard to read someone's body temp. If you have an elevated temp (normal to 100.5) you should be required to see the nurse, symptoms/history assessed, instructed to wear a mask (if URI) in airport and for duration of flight, instructed on reportable symptoms and care. Flight attendants notified and monitoring for compliance. If you have a fever (greater than 100.5) you cannot fly because you are infectious. It seems like an easier, affordable public health intervention, right?
