I thought everyone pretty much knew about this, but talking to my wife this morning she didnt know so I figured I would post this.
Summary: a person who has an extremely drug resitant resistant form of TB flew from Atlanta to paris may 12th then flew from Prague in the Czech Republic to Montreal then drove across the border to the United States.
The kicker is he knew he was sick, was told not to travel and he did it anyway, then he was told to report to a foreign country (Italy) for treatment and was told he was banned from any flights and his passport had been flagged and he did not comply and he purposly flew to Canada and drove to the United States to avoid being detained anywhere.

He apparently put is personal needs above the health of complete strangers.
I think some kind of charges should be filed against him.
anyway, wanted to warn everyone in case anyone cares..
