As was pointed out in another thread:
"Enhanced Screening is being dropped"
On the advice of Dr. Fauci, who stated that it was of little value.
From USAtoday.com 9/10/20
The U.S. government is halting its enhanced entry screening for certain international passengers at airports starting Sept. 14, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It's replacing the current system of temperature checks and screening for COVID-19 symptoms at 15 centralized airports with one it says is a more effective strategy that "focuses on the continuum, of travel and the individual passenger, including pre-departure and post-arrival education, efforts to develop a potential testing framework with international partners, and illness response."
The government will shift public health efforts on the individual passenger. Such measures include:
pre-departure, in-flight and post-arrival health education;
voluntary electronic contact information collection, as proposed by some airlines;
possible testing to reduce travel-related transmission risk;
post-arrival recommendations for self-monitoring, including staying home for 14 days if arriving from a high-risk destination.
Currently, travelers upon arrival to the United States are sent to health screeners who take their temperatures and conduct a basic health screening with questions about typical COVID-19 symptoms. After the health screening, passengers proceed through passport control and customs.
One aspect of the screening is that travelers provide contact information, which can be used to perform contact tracing for infections. Without that information, it likely won’t be possible to contact passengers on a flight who may have potentially been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19.
The orders to cease prescreening operations came from the White House, with strict orders to keep the information secret until a public announcement is made. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the various agencies — and contractors — involved in the airport screening operations are working frantically to prepare for Monday’s shutdown.
