By the time our plane landed at Nairobi’s international
airport I was feeling somewhat groggy from 28 hours of travel. Along
with the other passengers I shuffled down the stairs from the plane and onto
the bus that delivered us to the airport Arrivals Hall. Before reaching the immigration visa processing stations we were told to
form a single line (or "queue" as they say in Kenya) and to step up, one by one, to face a small camera-like device
mounted from the ceiling. It emitted a brief burst of light onto the forehead of each of us. I deduced that we
were having our temperature taken by some sort of laser. In fact, we were being screened for EBOLA. A sad reminder of the suffering of our neighbors in West Africa….
