Well, truth be told, in the Immigration and Customs area you never can take photos. There are millions of such warnings in all airports. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 15, 15:21 1
- Yup this. -- nm - spamlet Mar 15, 15:31
This is an unusual case of pictures not telling a thousand words. Okay, there are people waiting in line at the airport. And? - Max Mar 15, 15:19 8
- We're concerned that there may be people coming back from Europe who are infected so let's shove them all into a confined space together. -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 15:32 5
  - Serious Q I don't think has been answered: if standing in line with people who are infected but not coughing or touching, can you catch it? - Max Mar 15, 15:54 4
    - IANAD: I think it's possible, yes. It's an airborne respiratory virus, hence the 3-6 foot spacing rule. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 16:05 2
      - I read it's mostly through the droplets. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 15, 16:06 1
        
        The CDC has two bullet points - JaxSean Mar 15, 16:12
    - Droplet transmission suggests "maybe, but not exactly" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 15:54
- The measures are making things worse wow -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 15:22
- That’s the line to come into the country. I’m guessing they are doing health screenings and it’s slowing everything down. -- nm - spamlet Mar 15, 15:21
"People in line being told to not to take pictures." -- nm - mud Mar 15, 15:18 5
- I’d love to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it is due to security reasons... - Qale Mar 15, 15:23
- Which as Marlowe said is relatively normal -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 15:23 3
  - Yeah, immigration and customs areas at all US airports have tons of signs forbidding photos -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 15:25 2
    - I was once at JFK T8 international baggage claim (so the customs area) and an employee was going around to people using their phones - ty97 Mar 15, 15:26 1
      - I've seen one guy be truly ripped off by an official once. He got a few warnings, and still held his phone. - Marlowe Mar 15, 15:35
