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.
