Flu plans may include travel curbs

it's the "other steps" that bother me the most...
Sustained person-to-person spread of the bird flu or any other super-influenza strain anywhere in the world could prompt the United States to implement travel restrictions or other steps to block a brewing pandemic, say federal plans released Wednesday.

this administration is just ITCHING to implement plans to curtail individual freedoms and to make it sound like they're only doing it for our own good... this same subject keeps coming up in different forms - using the military as first responders in national disasters, changing or eliminating the posse comitatus act, using the military to enforce influenza quarantines, the possibility of declaring martial law, wiretaps, search warrants, demanding library and medical records... inch by surreptitious inch, the camel is pushing more than its nose under the tent...
