Wow, thanks for posting this! This makes me think of an earlier story that was missed by most news agency, since it was during the whole Schiavo case and the death of the Pope. This is from the New York Times, and I highly doubt that the law is restricted to "just" the bird flu. -- Ryan

Bush Authorizes Use of Quarantine Powers In Cases of Bird Flu
WASHINGTON, April 1 (AP) - President Bush signed an executive order on Friday authorizing the government to impose a quarantine to deal with any outbreak of a particularly lethal variation of influenza now found in Southeast Asia.
The order is intended to deal with a type of influenza commonly referred to as bird flu. Since January 2004, an estimated 69 people, primarily in Vietnam, have contracted the disease. But Dr. Keiji Fukuda, a flu expert at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, has said he suspects there are more cases.
