Quite odd to hear of pigs in Egypt - considering it's a Muslim country! Or are these "strays"?

The Egyptian authorities have begun in earnest the slaughter of over 300,000 pigs, in what was originally described as a precaution against swine flu.
Officials now say the move is a general health measure aimed at restoring order to Egypt's pig-rearing industry.
The move has been widely criticised and the World Health Organisation says there is no evidence that pigs are transmitting the virus to humans.
Experts also point out that the flu cannot be caught from eating pig meat.
Pig-farming and consumption is limited to Egypt's Christian minority, estimated at 10% of the population.
Farmers clashed with health officials in at least one incident north of Cairo.

| Add Cochin to the list. Even they now have a fully manned medical examination desk at the airport. |

There are plenty of Christians in Egypt - Coptics, to be specific. I am pretty sure that they eat pork.

Any details on that Temp sensing equipment.
How long can the virus stay active,as Aviation maintenance personell service the recirculation filters of an aircraft,the virus trapped on the screens should not be active.
