H1N1

Or as Jennie likes to call it - "The Hinny"

As we're about to land in Delhi, I have to fill out this H1N1 form with all these warnings on it about being quarantined, an "extensive" medical exam at the airport, etc. The form includes checking off any flu-like symptoms I currently have, my name, contact info, etc. From my experiences here, I'm wondering how legit this whole thing is - it sounds way too official.

We get off the plane and are greeted by about 50 people in the Michael Jackson masks/gloves/scrubs - the whole nine. There are tables set up that we have to go up to and deliver our forms to. Also, there are tv's set up next to each table that show thermo-imagery of everyone in line - seems like these guys are serious.

I walk up to the Indian masked man and hand him my form while also looking at my thermo-image self on the tv - it's pretty red compared to the dude next to me, so I'm a little concerned. What happens? He literally doesn't even look at it - stamps it with an official Indian notary of some sort and I'm on my way to customs. I at least wanted to be screened after all that effort they put in! Geez...
