Chaos As ‘Enhanced Screening’ Airports Overwhelmed; US Citizens Scramble Back From Europe
March 16, 2020 2014
Since Trump’s Europe travel ban went into effect, Americans returning home have been diverted through just thirteen US airports, also as travel requirements and coronavirus ‘enhanced’ screening instituted by President Trump are implemented.
Videos and photos posted to social media reveal a weekend of insanity and packed airport queues in an increasingly ‘high risk’ health crisis.
Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport revealed the most chaotic scenes: thousands standing should-to-shoulder in an airport corridor amid a deadly pandemic, reportedly for at least seven hours before entering the screening area and airport exit.

Does it include some "enhanced interrogation"?

It says they will ask about flyers' recent travel history. I can imagine it might be quite detailed.
I know a girl who went to Italy and now it seems she is stuck there under quarantine because of the virus. ;)

I was supposed to go through there on my way to Denver to pick up a car that I really had hot-pants for about a month ago. The tics were less than $200 and I thought it might have been a neat drive since I never had my head up west if the Mississippi.
Long story short, the dealer sold the car out from under me, the IRS came down on me like a ton of shit over a major TurboTax malfunction with this years taxes, etc. Just call me TurboTax Jimmy.
Damn, I haven't bought a car for me that I've wanted since probably the mid 80s.
