Probably was.
27th April

Amid growing fears of a global flu outbreak, UK health authorities have said they do not plan to screen passengers arriving from Mexico for swine flu.

passengers not checked

Quote:

"They went through the plane asking people if they had any of the symptoms and a couple of people put their hands up but they seemed happy to let us go."

from the Telegraph

passengers on same flight as Scottish couple won't be traced

need to sign up, but some headlines from airliners.net

I think you're safe - probably more a case of man-flu

Well that's just ridiculous really how the people who's job it is to check there's no threat coming into the country couldn't be bothered.
you can hear it now when the same people who weren't screened actually develop the virus. the government will be saying we are putting measures into place to ensure this doesn't happen again.

They didn't want to deliberately let the virus in did they?

I was pretty shocked to exclaim through our flat's thin walls 'WHAT?!' watching that on the late night news... kinda seems that way doesn't it, sorry to offend anyone by encouraging any NWO theory, but

It's in America, Canada and New Zealand too so I guess we should spend all our resources checking incoming flights from those countries too oh and don't forget Spain so better to check the rest of Europe too..do you see?

That's not the point. the threat was flights coming in from Mexico. that's what these peoples jobs were. protect the country from the threat from Mexico at this stage.

Do you have an headache or a sore throat by any chance?
No.
Ok, you're no threat. I just have to ask because that's what my important job is.
Oh and I'm that rushed off my feet, I don't get to ask everyone. they've already jumped into a Taxi and on their way home.
