TB MAN APOLOGIZES

HOMELAND SECURITY

Mr. Andrew Speaker, the man whose case of XDR-TB has been all over the news, has apologized for all the problems he caused to his fellow passengers all because he wanted to get married. Although Mr. Speaker was warned that it wouldn't be in his best interest to fly with his form of TB, but he claims he was never told he could be a danger to anyone else.

And another wrinkle in the case is that Mr. Speaker's father-in-law worked at the CDC, doing research on tuberculosis. Robert C. Cooksey said that the strain of TB that his Son-in-law has, did not originate at the CDC labs.

Mr. Speaker avoided being taken in while in Italy and instead flew to Prague, then to Montreal, and then drove across the border. By that time, there was an all points bulletin out for him to be detained. The border guard claimed that Mr. Speaker didn't appear sick, so he let him in. Now, anyone who has been following this story, will notice that there are gaps in our Homeland Security. Someone on a suicide mission, could cross our northern border with a case of small pox and infect a large portion of our population before anyone could know about it.
