http://www.wral.com/news/state/story/1246125/ Report: Passengers on US Airways flight quarantined after threat CHARLOTTE, N.C. Officials quarantined passengers on a US Airways flight from New Orleans due to a "medical situation" Friday at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
"We do have a plane on the tarmac that has been quarantined at this time," said Capt. Tammy Williams, of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Williams said she had no other details. WCNC-TV in Charlotte said officials quarantined Flight 1014 after an intoxicated passenger shouted that he had exposed those on board to smallpox. Scott White, a spokesman at Carolinas Medical Center, where the passenger was taken for tests, told the station the man does not have the disease. The last natural case of smallpox occurred in 1977 in Somalia, and the World Health Organization reported in 1980 that it had eradicated the disease. Airport spokeswoman Haley Gentry said there was a "medical situation" in progress, but referred all questions to the county health department. Messages left for a spokesman for the Mecklenberg County Health Department and US Airways officials were not immediately returned. WCNC-TV reported that responders in hazmat suits could be seen walking to and from the plane. Despite the lack of current cases of smallpox, the federal government ordered certain military personnel vaccinated and recommended shots for front-line health care workers following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. 070323 222042 Copyright 2007 Associated Press.

"Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research."
