Aero-News Quote of the Day

"I'm a very well-educated, successful, intelligent person. This is insane to me that I have an armed guard outside my door when I have cooperated with everything other than the whole solitary-confinement-in-Italy thing."

Source: 31-year-old attorney Andrew Speaker, who has been identified as the man who traveled overseas from Atlanta, GA last month -- despite a doctor's warning that he had tuberculosis -- and returned to North America onboard a commercial airliner despite warnings from the CDC to remain in Italy until doctors could determine the best course of treatment. Now under quarantine and receiving treatment at a Denver medical specialty center, Speaker is said to be doing very well. So far, none of the other passengers onboard flights Speaker traveled on have been diagnosed with the extremely drug-resistant form of TB Speaker carries.
