But I do agree with this type of screening now, under these conditions and circumstances.
This post reminds me when I flew to the Villages with a small cold. I put on my hoodie and SARS mask, this was in late 2003. I noticed the plane was delayed, by 2 hours from take off. I waited patiently thinking maybe it was an engine problems. Then the flight crew approached me and investigated my passport and wanted to know exactly why was I wearing a mask?
