    Possible. Strong impulse to "just get home."

    The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

      Though I believed they told him that they'd get him in Italy and fly him back home (on a special plane sans other passengers).

        Then he's just an irresponsible idiot (snapped, or maybe he was already that way).

          He is a lawyer after all.

            I don't know if that's a shot at lawyers or a shot at me.

                  Come on Imran. You and I both know there are many flakes in the profession.

                    The funny part about all this is that he's a personal injury lawyer. You'd think he above all people would know better than that.

                    Also, how soon would you imagine it would be that the moronic agent will be fired?

                      Please. It's DHS. He'll be in a different airport, doing (or not doing) the exact same job, inside of a month.

                          His father in law apparently works at the CDC, and his area of expertise is TB.

                            I heard that as well. His actions seem informed and intentional to me.

                                Yes, the Lawyer's father in law (he just got married and he was traveling for his honeymoon) works at the CDC.
