The text is confusing. They are scanning temperature. They are scanning eyes? Are they scanning temperature in the eyes? In Afghanistan, it was common to scan eyes for identification just as it is being done upon air arrival to the U.S. I understand why reactions here are mixed or even mostly hostile. At the same time, the headline is quite suggestive and borderline misleading.
