You may have heard of Intrusion Prevention/ Intrusion detection Systems (IDS/IPS) used to detect or prevent unwanted hacker activities or viruses from entering into a corporate network. Airports in major cities around the globe have started using infra-red thermal scanning systems to detect foreigners arriving who have higher than normal body temperatures, which could be a sign of the contagious swine flu. The average human generates 37 degrees Celsius of heat, any foreigner passing through the thermal scanner who has a body temperature higher than normal is pulled to the side, tested and if diagnosed with the flu quarantined. The Swine Flu cases that are appearing around the world have cities in Thailand and Bangkok installing thermal scanners in an attempt to stop the swine flu from spreading and becoming a pandemic.


Imagine if your mother had one of these thermal scanners back when you played sick in order to stay out of school for the day?
