Dang, that’s Harsh

30 04 2009

Someone just posted this to a message board I read. It’s a statement on the Department of Homeland Security’s website about how the government intends to deal with travellers who might be sick with the H1N1 flu. It’s the last sentence that’s the kicker:

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.

This is obviously a typo. I think.

Not so funny for someone about to get on a plane and fly to the frozen northland;-)

Don’t worry. Nobody messes with my mom and gets away with it.
