What kinda TB are we talking about. We just did that very thing recently with an Atlanta resident with drug resistant TB.
CDC quarantines air passenger with deadly tuberculosis strain - USATODAY.com

And what caused the internment camps was NOT the same thing, fear of spying is a different motivation than fear of contagious death. If SARS shows up here, they are gonna get locked away as well.
This is my new signature.
