Question about trivia for 12 Monkeys

13 December 2025#251213-144016-835000
why was this contribution declined? It makes your guidelines for trivia. It is a fact that Dr. Peters exposed himself to the lethal virus and when the female scientist from the future sits next to him, she is now exposed to it and now she can never enter the facility they all live in when she goes back to the future  
At the end of the movie when Dr Peters is going through airport security, the security officer asks what is in the containers he has in his carry-on luggage. Dr. Peters opens one up, thus releasing the lethal virus at that very moment, exposing himself as well as everybody else in the area, making them all carriers, to where they will all spread and eventually die of the virus. When the female astrophysicist sits next to Dr. Peters on the plane, on the obvious follow up mission to obtain information on the virus so they can most likely take the results back to the future and find a cure, in reality since the astrophysicist is now sitting next to Dr. Peters, who is infected with, and spreading, the lethal virus to everybody, including the astrophysicist, she could never return to the future because she would take the lethal virus with her and expose everybody in the future to it. She would technically be violating the same protocol that is mentioned at the beginning of the movie to all those who they sent back into the past that if their bio suit is ripped, they can no longer re-enter the future facility that they come from, basically sentencing them to death.
