The TB patient apologized yesterday to plane passengers adding that he was told he wasn't a threat to anyone around him....

I'm going to have to cry foul on this one.

According to the news report on Fox news this morning, Andrew Speaker, infected with a severe and deadly form of tuberculosis, says he was only advised not to travel in his condition.

Who in the heck doesn't understand the dangers of TB? Especially a (supposedly) well educated lawyer!? You would have to have been living under a rock for most of your life to not understand that tuberculosis is a very dangerous disease!

Apparently the CDC contacted him immediately after the discovered his trip on an AIRPLANE to Italy and told him in no uncertain terms "DO NOT COME BACK", that he should be quarantined and removed from the population.

Instead, this guy selfishly takes a flight back to Canada and sneaks across the border (under the nose of a border guard who disregarded orders to stop him), travelling to Denver in order to seek treatment.

Is there not some sort of criminal level of endangerment going on here? Just imagine the tens of thousands of people he potentially exposed to this deadly strain by going to another country, travelling through what has to be several airports, and then on several AIRPLANES where the air is recirculated throughout the cabin.

This guy needs to be held accountable...unbelievable.
