A man was fined 50,000 yuan (US$6,040) at Beijing's Capital International
Airport for knocking down a body temperature monitor after refusing to let his
temperature be taken, reports Beijing Youth Daily.

expensive instrument, which is valued at 1.5 million yuan (US$180,000).
According to government regulations, all passengers must submit to a
temperature check when checking in. The passenger who refused was quarreling
