So this approach might not be foolproof. Does that mean we shouldn't expend the very small amount of effort that this approach would require? Do we have any reason to think that IR thermometers are so inaccurate that they aren't worth using? (For that matter, where does the article say they will use IR thermometers?) And while a person MIGHT be able to slip through after taking a fever reducer, is there a good reason to think that a meaningfully large number of people will do that?
Comments like this strike me as textbook examples of making the perfect the enemy of the good.
