Everett's Paine Field Airport screening passengers for fevers
Passengers at Everett's Paine Field Airport are now being screened for fevers to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and other illnesses.
The airport rolled out the technology, developed by Athena Security, on Wednesday.
The "Elevated Body Temperature Detection System" is a non-invasive and non-contact tool that screens passengers using a thermal camera that reads body temperature.
Passengers are screened before they reach the TSA checkpoint, and if they have a fever, they will be screened again. The airline and the passenger then decide if the person is OK to travel.

Good idea.
