Can I Take Your Temperature?

Two friends of mine (names withheld in case the Chinese government reads my blog) were hired to work at an English summer camp in China. They arrived in Shanghai the other day and were greeted by this:

Chinese health inspectors came on to their flight wearing HAZMAT-ish suits and took everyone's temperature to check for swine flu. What you can't see is the "thermometer." I was told by my friend that the thermometers were shaped like guns and that they were placed on their foreheads. Nothing like having a gun held up to your head by men in HAZMAT suits after a 10+ hour flight.
