airport passenger testing, page-4

Hi All Again

Back from Philippines - Bird Flu is a current topic of daily conversation with the locals.

Hong Kong Airport was remote-monitoring passengers' temperatures as they arrived. Including transit passengers not staying over in HK.

No such testing in Sydney yet.

I imagine that when Sydney Airport starts testing, media reports will increase awareness and send RBY rocketing

As I mentioned, keeping passengers hanging around airports waiting for test results would be unpopular
- A Quick test like RBY's is the answer

Cheers

Hi All

Just a thought. I'm currently in Philippines and on arrival, airport staff were remote monitoring passenger temperatures with a Video camera looking device. Pointing it down the arrival corridor. They had signs up that they were monitoring passengers for temperature as a Bird Flu precaution.

I got to thinking, they would have to use a quick test like RBY's when they found a passenger with a high temperature. They couldn't have passengers hanging around for hours with conventional tests when RBY's will perform the test in 10 Minutes.

I look forward to news on more orders from various airports.

I'll be travelling through Hong Kong & Sydney on Tuesday. I'll see what precautions they're taking there

Cheers for now
