Singapore Screens for SARS

Changi Airport in Singapore is using
high technology to screen the foreheads of inbound
passengers as they step off the plane. The infrared fever
screening system has a thermal imaging thermometer that
works like a camera. It takes a picture of each passenger
and transfers the data to a computer screen. Blue dots
indicate normal temperature and red fever. Anyone looks
feverish is checked for SARS symptoms by a nurse.
