Given our previous comments that "air traffic is the driver," it is perhaps not surprising that the Obama administration announced Wednesday that airline passengers arriving from the three West African countries experiencing an unprecedented Ebola outbreak will now be screened for potential exposure to the deadly disease when they arrive at five major U.S. airports. The screening will include having their temperatures taken. As AP's Alicia Caldwell explains, here are five things you need to know about the screenings...
1. THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS
Customs and Border Protection agents stationed at New York's Kennedy, Newark Liberty, Washington's Dulles, Chicago's O'Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airports will be screening passengers. The effort begins in New York on Saturday and expands to the other airports over the next week.
There are no nonstop flights to the U.S. from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea, the three hardest-hit countries. Nearly 95 percent of the roughly 150 people traveling daily from or through those West African countries to the United States land first at one of the five airports selected for extra screening. Customs and Border Protection agents stationed at other airports and border crossings will also be on the lookout for any visibly sick passengers.
2. THEY KNOW ALL THE STOPS
Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday that officials in his department can track passengers all the way back to where their trips began. He said even if someone arrives in the U.S. after making several stops, Homeland Security will be able to identify them and screen them for possible Ebola exposure when they arrive.
3. NO-TOUCH TEMPERATURE TAKING
Mayorkas and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden, said DHS employees at airports will use no-touch thermometers to take the temperatures of passengers who have come from or through West Africa. The screeners won't wear masks or any of the other scary-looking protective gear seen in photographs and video from West Africa. Mayorkas said those precautions haven't been deemed medically necessary.
Agents will also be asking questions about the passengers' travel and potential contact with anyone who may have been infected with Ebola.
4. FEVER!
Frieden said Wednesday that people who have a fever will be interviewed to determine whether they may have had contact with someone infected with Ebola. Case-by-case, health workers will direct the passenger either to the local medical system or public health system for possible treatment or routine follow-ups, including daily temperature readings for the 21-day Ebola incubation period. There are quarantine areas at each of the five airports that can be used, if necessary.
Frieden said health officials expect to find many travelers who do have fever, but that doesn't mean they are all infected with Ebola. He said about 1 of every 500 people leaving West Africa has an elevated temperature, but most are suffering from malaria or some other ailment.
5. FELLOW TRAVELERS ON THE AIRCRAFT
Thousands of people pass through customs and immigration screening areas at the five airports daily and most won't be pulled aside for extra screening.
Frieden said because the number of passengers from the three West African countries is so few — about 150 daily — the extra screening isn't expected to disrupt normal operations.
He said security and health authorities "think it's manageable."

Which should not be a surprise since we noted previously, "Air traffic is the driver," warns Professor Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston...predicting where the virus will spread...
There is a 50 per cent chance a traveller carrying the disease could touch down in the UK by October 24, a team of U.S. researchers have predicted.
Using Ebola spread patterns and airline traffic data they have calculated the odds of the virus spreading across the world.
They estimate there is a 75 per cent chance Ebola will reach French shores by October 24.
And Belgium has a 40 per cent chance of seeing the disease arrive on its territory, while Spain and Switzerland have lower risks of 14 per cent each.

'It's just a matter of who gets lucky and who gets unlucky."

But apart from that, it's "contained"

And in order to lighten the mood a little, here is The Onion's "What You Need To Know About Ebola"
Following the death of the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, concerns about the deadly hemorrhagic virus are running high throughout the country. Here is everything you need to know about Ebola:
What is Ebola?
Ebola is an infectious, often fatal virus. For more complete information, consult your own darkest paranoid nightmares.
How do you contract Ebola?
Ebola is contracted through contact with a health care system that vastly overestimates its preparedness for a global pandemic.
What are the symptoms of Ebola?
Severe flu-like symptoms that a CNN cameraman is filming.
How long does it take for symptoms to first appear?
Anywhere from two to 10 days after passing through U.S. customs.
How is Ebola treated?
The virus is eventually killed when the body begins naturally decomposing inside a coffin several feet underground.
Do I have Ebola?
Not yet.
How dangerous is Ebola?
Easily Africa’s fourth or fifth most pressing issue.
I come into frequent physical contact with Ebola-infected blood, urine, saliva, stool, and vomit. Am I at risk of contracting Ebola?
Yes.
Is there a risk of Ebola spreading further?
If Dallas authorities fail to properly contain the disease, it may spread as far as Plano and Fort Worth.
How are Ebola outbreaks contained?
Great question!
What are airports doing to screen passengers?
Questionnaire based on fundamental assumption that those in desperate need of medical attention would not lie to get out of western Africa and into the U.S.
How many people could die if Ebola begins spreading in the United States?
Projections are currently imprecise but range anywhere from 318.8 million to 319.0 million Americans.
When will all this Ebola hysteria end?
For you? At exactly 11:18 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
Is it normal if the TSA asks me to bend over for my free Ebola screening?
...Houston (R) and Dallas (R) can go get fucked.
Enjoy riding in NYC and Chicago cabs. They clean the body fluid out of those things once every blood moon.
Oh only 150/day. Only 1050/week. 1050/week of potential Ebola carrying arrivals.
Nothing to worry about at all.
Shorter lines for check-in at the TOUCH screen kiosks!
Book your holiday travel, now, and beat the crowds! Aahh Chooo! Bless you!
They sterilize the plastic bins how often? Never?
If semen retains the Ebola virus for 90 days there's gonna be a whole lotta infected hands out there.
NO FEAR...
BITCHEZ!
CDC IS HERE!
this is not going to end well...
hedgless...could you at least add some hot lookin' foriegn chicks in your pictures...PLEASE!
Like sheep to slaughter. Happy Holidays, Bitchez..........
Planes, Trains & Automoblies. No Pun intended.

The size of the average Ebola virion is 800-1000 nm. An nm is 1 E-9 m, and is simply 1 / 1,000,000,000 m. One nanometre equals ten angstroms. Approximately 150 virus particles are considered infectious. Ok all math buffs. Calculate the size of of an infectious area on that airplane arm rest, bathroom stall door, overhead bin.
If you still believe you could see that droplet of blood, saliva, feces and can save yourself by avoidance, I pity you. No fancy suit can save you unless you go through a disinfecting wash upon your destination. And you have spread it to many others along the way.
PPE is only good if used properly and when we are talking about this agent, it's usage is only appropriate in a bio 4 lab which can handle this. And we are pressure hosing down vomit. Please someone wake me from this Benny Hill type nightmare.
Miffed
Miffed....I am a fan of yours....but please enlighten me. If the droplets on the armrest have dried, is the virus still alive? I consider you an expert. If someone with ebola sweats in their seat while on a plane, how long does the virus live and how long can it infect a person with an average immune system? Should I wear a mask when I travel and carry wetwipes than contain bleach? I don't care what the CDC says.....just tell me what you think
I can't consider myself an expert regarding Ebola but I have worked with clinical viruses for thirty years, never bio level 4 agents. I have not contacted HIV nor HCV though I have worked with patients with heavy viral load, up to 210 mil copies/ ml. Ebola blows that out of the water at viral loads seen in the billions copies per ml with a much lower infectivity number. The PH of Canada gives the best information I have seen:
SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: Filoviruses have been reported capable to survive for weeks in blood and can also survive on contaminated surfaces, particularly at low temperatures (4°C) One study could not recover any Ebolavirus from experimentally contaminated surfaces (plastic, metal or glass) at room temperature. In another study, Ebolavirus dried onto glass, polymeric silicone rubber, or painted aluminum alloy is able to survive in the dark for several hours under ambient conditions (between 20 and 250C and 30–40% relative humidity) (amount of virus reduced to 37% after 15.4 hours), but is less stable than some other viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa) When dried in tissue culture media onto glass and stored at 4 °C, Zaire ebolavirus survived for over 50 days. This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature. This information is intended to be used to support local risk assessments in a laboratory setting.
A study on transmission of ebolavirus from fomites in an isolation ward concludes that the risk of transmission is low when recommended infection control guidelines for viral hemorrhagic fevers are followed.Infection control protocols included decontamination of floors with 0.5% bleach daily and decontamination of visibly contaminated surfaces with 0.05% bleach as necessary.
Hope this helps. Stay safe.
Miffed
Miffed, it does help. Thanks.
This to me is significant ->> "This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature."
The extended longevity outside-the-host they're discussing has not been observed in nature, only in the lab, because as far as we know, Ebola has never before, been on the loose in nature in its observed, ideal, outside-the-host environment of 4C and lower humidity.
If all true, looks bad for temperate regions, N. America in particular. Y/N?
From Miffed's quote:
"amount of virus reduced to 37% after 15.4 hours"
Ho...lee....shit.... there's still over 1/3 of virus left after nearly 16 hours? That seems like a really long time!
I was studying cytomegalovirus, and that only lasts somewhere around 3 hours on fabric, 1-2 hours on metal, if I remember correctly.
Oh boy.....
When I was working in blood bank about 80% of our donors were CMV positive. We would call in our known neg CMV people to donate blood when we were low and have a critical baby in the NICU. Of course it can be very problematic in the transplant patient population. If only Ebola would mutate itself into a pathogenicity similar to CMV we'd be fine. However, with ample hosts available this doesn't seem likely at this stage.
Things don't look good to me. I try to tell myself I am overreacting but the more I study this virus the more I get concerned. This should have never been allowed to leave Africa. I fear even with a massive containment effort and militarizing the borders, state and national,it might be too late at this point. Dear God I hope I am wrong.
Miffed
*Gulp*
Miffed, do you have any idea about silver's effectiveness against the virus? This DOD study seems promising but I can't fully understand it myself: http://www.thesilveredge.com/pdf/defense-threat-reduction-agency-silver-...
Roger, and wilco, Miffed. You are valuable and appreciated on this forum. I only ask that you keep posting on Ebola threads as this thing goes forward. At some point I will volunteer and assist as well. Thank you.
humble_man: I value your comments, however, FYI:
You never use roger and wilco together. I took ground school from an Airforce Captain and he must have told us 20 times to NEVER use the two words together.
Contrary to popular belief, Roger does not mean or imply both "received" and "I will comply." That distinction goes to the contraction wilco (from, "will comply"), which is used exclusively if the speaker intends to say "received and will comply." Thus, the phrase "Roger Wilco" is both procedurally incorrect and redundant.[3][4][5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_procedure
Doesn't the phrase "to survive in the dark for several hours under ambient conditions (between 20 and 250C and 30–40% relative humidity)" perfectly describe an airplane passenger compartment?
Dear Mr. Miffed:
Please apply your ebola knowledge and common sense to the following sitution:
The political geniuses in the State of California, including numerous local governments, have banned "single use plastic bags."
That means that grocery shoppers are "encouraged" to bring reusable shopping bags into supermarkets to load and tote their foodstuffs home.
Based on the number of "cat lady" stories I read in the newspapers, i.e. little old ladies living in houses with 80 cats and with a living room knee deep in cat feces, I am concerned that at least a few of the reusable shopping bags brought into food stores by the the general public come from un-hygienic circumstances.
Would you be concerned that the government encouraged use of reusable shopping bags might pose a serious risk of spreading ebola viruses?
Checking passengers getting OFF of an airplane for ebola.
Brilliant preventive measure.
If you just exposed hundreds of people to a deadly virus we're going to find out about it.
By the way, we can't put an infected person back on an airplane so you are stuck with free 1st world heathcare.
While we are at it how about switching the weapons & explosives screening to arrivals only.
They didn't mention that the temperature screening will be conducted using the TSA's new, state-of-the-art FIST thermometers?
Luckily for them, the anal intruder was invented decades ago:

I have told you that they have the remedy and wont release it any soon till their goals are met
They will also resist and disrupt any potential remedy rival that wants to helpout at this time
SO, STOP DREAMING AND GET READY FOR EBOLA BECAUSE IT MUST BE, IF IT IS WASHINGTON THAT IS IN CHARGE OF CONTAINING IT!

Will a blanket, t-shirt, luggage have a fever if it is contaminated with Ebola.....?
LOL. I was wondering about those little mini towlie things they give you to wake or clean up. I always used mine to clean my glasses and laptop screen. No fucking way that fucking thing was going near my face.
why not? they serve them just ready at 200 F
The flight attendants are on the front lines of this. If one gets puked on and gets Ebola, there goes the air traffic system. Of course, we could have soldiers acting as flight attendants and the pilots forced to fly the planes at gunpoint, but I doubt many people would take that flight for vacation purposes.
IIRC, it was a flight attendant that was patient zero for AIDS in the US. Something to do with Laguna Beach, CA.
Yeah and he'd been screwing around with some guy in West Africa. Maybe Louis "the Rev Moon" Farakan is right after all about whitie trying to lay all the blame for AIDS and Ebola on black people, the racists.
Heard that TSA's already known for terminal luggage-fever..
Second potential Ebola case in Dallas tests negative. Anyone a little less pessimistic?
Did someone call me?
A positive result would have been a disaster on several fronts. I'm glad he didn't have it. Long-term, I don't think it will matter.
Duncan didn't get all wild and crazy with the woman or she'd have it. Time will tell.
I have had it with these motherfuckin' ebolas on this motherfuckin' plane!
I think you may have confused Ebola with Ebonics........

Watch this, dude from Africa sneezes on a plane yesterday, full on hasmat response:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJhWVsx1U8c&feature=youtu.be
Look at the idiots just sitting there with a stupid grin on their faces. If tha guy really had ebola then half of those suckers are dead.
So a West African gets off a plane in Frankfurt and bumps into a German boarding a flight to the US, or sneezes on him, ....or some such scenario...
How exactly does the German with a 21 day incubation period get caught?
Or what about the person who is on the plane an contagious? What about the other 200 people on board who have now been exposed?
Sorry, I think the few cases of Ebola in developed countries right now is just the tip of the ice berg... it's going exponential...
Time to force the Gates family to fly commercial.
Impossible! Real Germans are immune to this stuff! If you had started drinking beer shortly after birth, you would be immune too! Beer the ultimate antidote.
My apologies for the scientific inaccuracies... to make it more accurate, instead of German, I should have said American tourist. :) lol...
Correction:
"
Customs and Border Protection agents stationed at New York's Kennedy,
Newark Liberty, Washington's Dulles, Chicago's O'Hare and
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airports will be resigning enmasse."
and dhs body gropers.
they make it sound like they are still writing airplane tickets out by hand. isn't it easy to track everyone who flies out of these countries and track their travels?
It sounds like that is what they are doing ... that 150 or so will be pulled out of line, the rest will proceed normally.
I expect those folks will be deplaned first, with possibly a slight delay for everyone else while they are interviewed by the guys in the hazmat suits.
Periodically they destroy the hard drives.
I appreciate the fact that they let me pay $15.50 at ticketing so that the TSA guy who cornholed me used a new pair of gloves. I feel safer, and when I landed, cornstarch fresh!
The virus can remain viable in a man's semen for up to 90 days.
What else do you need to know? Will they keep them/it out? NO.
Breast milk too boys and girls: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/10/how-long-ebola-sperm
I hadn't stopped to consider that aspect of it. You are right, no way to keep it out. It's starting to be a matter of how bad is it going to be in developed countries vs West Africa?
Is the guy going to last 90 days?
Price of blowjobs just went up.......
Shit! Now I gotta quit sucking my titties when I'm bored on those long flights?
Why it was only the other day, on this very site that I was reading that passengers can take paracetamol or similar drugs to reduce their temperatures and beat the screening.
So what is Plan B?
Plan B? Confiscate the world supply of Paracetamol.
Stand in line with sticky shit all over your hands?
Any one carrying paracetamol is a terrorist...
Ebola cases will be hard to spot. Particularly if they present with no symptoms and deny contact with ebola-infected etc. But in 2 days, or 7, or 17, they will be gravely ill and highly contagious.
haloween is coming. i think i know what my costume is gonna be ....
I would think an enterprising young person could open a chain of airport terminal eateries and cash in on the whole Bush Meat craze. Bush Meat on a Stick. Bush Meat Tacos. Bush Meat Mongolian BBQ.

They should just require airline passengers & crew, and security screeners, to wear condoms. That should keep everyone safe :/
Ebola outbreak: Survivors told to 'use condoms' to prevent virus spreading

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF EBOLA BECOMING AIRBORNE, A CONDOM WILL AUTOMATICALLY DROP FROM THE PANEL ABOVE YOUR SEAT. PLEASE PULL THE CONDOM OVER YOUR HEAD AND CONTINUE TO BREATH NORMALLY.
More comedy theater at its worst
TSA Agents are your first and best line of defence America. They are now doing rectal thermometer temperature readings for your convenience and safety. No doubt the known pedophiles and perverts they hire will target your women and children. Want to opt out? Okay, they'll put a temperature gun to your head. Non-compliance is not an option. Profuse sweating in obese Americans should automatically force the quarantine of the vast majority of TSA agents for suspicion of Ebola
Or read up and discuss the following with someone in the CDC or your other "qualified" licensed medical practitioner community
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-06/doctor-who-discovered-ebola-197...
Soon we will need to start screening travelers from Madrid. It will be a miracle if there is no further infection from the Spanish woman.
What about Dallas, FFS, people?
I was concerned that I might be overly dramatic.
Here's a question: If 150 West Africans have been arriving every day for years and the epidemic was publicized months ago, why did it take until 10 days or so ago for an identified Ebola carrier to show up?
Well, we're alert and ready now, so bring it on, blood, vomit , diarrhea, semen, breast milk and all. We can handle anything. We're exceptional.
anymore questions like that and you'll be confined for the duration, mister
Good question. The official version is that the modern epidemic is in major cities..with some people that have funds to gtfo. The "unofficial" version is that is was purposely introduced into the cities....
The more cases there are in West Africa, the higher the probability that someone getting on an airplane there is infected, because more of the population has the virus. It was only a matter of time.
Several come to mind:
Few West Africans applied for a visa in time. Duncan was (un)fortunate.
Few WA knew they were exposed before developing death, the major symptom.
No poor WA were able to leave for the US on an emergency basis and avoid scrutiny.
Most that were there wanted to be in Africa and work.
As recently as July, only 300 dead and Ebola was not an international issue - there was a red flag on only a very few communication channels (like ZH)
It takes time, and a lot of it, to plan and execute that plan to AmericanMedicine.Inc. It takes Ebola only a little time to multiply enough to kill it's host, you or me.
Or both.
Ebola spread slowly in Africa becuase people are poor and less mobile. Here in the US the virus travel with the host to all four corners of hte nation at jet speed. Try to contain that. It is not like we do not see how wide spread flu is every year. What could Obama be thinking of ? May be he has too few brain cells to think properly and we will all pay the price.
If Governments lack the will to take the necessary shut-down steps , the Insurance companies certainly will .
If you get on a plane knowing there is an Ebola risk , insurance will not cover you .
This will effectively ground the planes to certain destinations .
Lack of a coherent and believable policy will destroy the economies of many tourist countries .
Most of Africa and Europe ,
This has happened before .
The most famous case is the destruction of British Empire trade after Churchill signed the notice that the Royal Navy would not protect shipping (in 1914) .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2009/03/featherfall.html
Catastrophe ! No ship would sail without insurance clearance .
The trade empire ground to a halt .
Many entire nations were ruined overnight (Argentina being the main one)
+1000. Perhaps that is what the the designers intended.
No one created Ebola....check Belgian records from 1976 or take the time to read "The Hot Zone." George Bush had no prior knowledge that planes would be flying into buildings. Obama had no clue that he was walking into a financial crisis in 2008, or that his health care plan would fail. They were simply INCOMPETENT.
Evil exists, but not where you think it is. The system itself has become evil, and while the leaders may not be pawns, they are no more than back pieces.....maybe knights or bishops.
Don't fret too much. Please. I like you guys. Just make sure you have strong bonds with your family, little or no debt, some spare food and water, various forms of currency, and the means to protect yourself.
How soon until this shuts down all air travel?
Has Eric Thomas Duncan's ex-wife / girlfriend / wife-to-be shown any symptoms? Why did "Patient Dallas" tell their daughter not to come and see him?
Is it possible that he came here knowing full well he was already infected and simply hoping that the care in the US would save his life as he has seen firsthand how so many others are dropping like flies in his native land? By doing so, did he deliberately take all precautions to avoid contact with friends and family?
Unless more people get infected and showing symptoms soon, the man must have done something right even when he acted completely selfish.
my 2 cents on Ebola today
So the 239 passangers that catch it while on the plane with the possibly infected person are free to travel throughout the populations.
Arrest Loyd Blankfein. Stop the NWO.
The truth is this....it is far better to over react, to panic, when you have these genuinely perceived threats.....than to wait and see if it is like Smallpox before taking proper action. Especially when the solution is not about spending trillions, or bombing millions, but just cautious protocols.
The diseases is deadly, with a very very high death rate, seems to be able to spread more easily than first assumed, and in the modern world of rapid transport and dense cities....its spread would be much greater than any previous epidemics.
So yeh, over react is good, it may not be neccessary, but you don't have the luxury of waiting and seeing.
Unfortunately TPTB always use these situations to take away people's rights.
I have no choice but to fly, Chicago, Dallas to Santiago, La Serena. 24hrs. in planes and airports. Then in three weeks reverse the trip. For now I don't think I will be nervous, the night before?
I'm listening to C-SPAN on my ride home this evening and you should hear the IMF begging for donations from the general public urging us on to be generous in the face of this crisis with their "collection plate" for donations to Africa moving forward!...
Yes. This is what a bankrupted IMF does. And you can bet just like the Red Cross and Amnesty International none of those people in West Africa will see a dime of it -just like all the man made catastrophes before them...
Same as it ever was within the framework of the Hegelian Dialectic being the source that created the problem at one end and the solution with it's hand out at the other end!
So... IMF wants people to make donations to them, so they can LOAN money, AT INTEREST, to the worst-hit countries.
Why am I not surprised...?
Seriously, though, Red Cross and MSF/Doctors Without Borders seem to be very legitimate charities, staffed by dedicated, hard-working people, and they very legitimately need money. Of course they're trying to put out a forest-fire by pissing on it, but their efforts are genuine and they are doing as much good work as they can, with limited resources.
Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking accordions on this motherfucking plane!
I guess I'll have to book my next trip via Greyhound. Much less chance of exposure to pathogens.
:/
You can't say that you haven't been warned...
And best of all the guys that brought you 9/11, the U.S.S. Cole and U.S.S. Liberty are broadcasting it special delivery using their own Press of course!
Boobie!!!
Your insurance should be your major concern

The hospital confirms through family that Ashoka Mukpo, 33, who is in the bio containment unit, will get a transfusion of blood from Dr. Kent Brantly -- an Ebola survivor.
That Dr. Brantly is idealistic and naive.....but he's doing the best he can and I applaud him for it !! Give the Canadian doctor who invented ZMAPP a Nobel Peace Prize, and let Brantly introduce him. If we get through this, they deserve a pat on the back. Who's with me?
The American government came from the following assumptions:
- Black.
- African.
- Poor.
A guy like that will not have money to pay for a plane ticket and fly to the USA.
Forgot small details like relatives who live in the USA and the informal economy that's in Africa - where a guy who looks poor may have a chipped money under the mattress.
In some regions you can sell a woman or women with whom you are married, you can sell a child, can sell some cows or goats, and pays the airfare without problems.
An entry visa of any country in Central America, one coyote and you'll be in the USA.

Have you ever lived or spent time in NYC? How about DC? For me, as an objective westerner, I have no beef with New York. DC, on the other hand, is a corrupt den of snakes that think they have the answer for EVERYBODY....including the West. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that 90% of them have never been west of the Mississippi for anything more than a conference, and they have NO CLUE what is happening here. They make over $100,000 a year if they are even marginally intelligent.....check real estate prices in the DC suburbs since 9/11. If there was a God, it would originate there, and not Monrovia......coincidentally it was Virginia where many slaves arrived and were then 'repatriated' to Liberia after the Civil War.
I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am an American, and if our society falls, karma suggests that it will start in Washington, DC.
Here's what happens if you yell ebola on a flight
i guess the passengers figured their phones would protect them. (shaking head) ebola won't experience a fight, battle or war.
I suppose we could use the Ebola questions to make a new standard operating procedure for the cops at Ferguson, Missouri.
Cop spots teenager walking down the street with a bunch of cigars.
Cop asks teen if he stole the cigars.
Teen says 'No'.
Cop says 'Have a nice day'
-----
Is anyone who knows they have exposure to Ebola EVER going to admit it to the TSA? And if anyone has a fever they are going to load up on aspirin or Tylenol before any temperature screening. And if the already have a fever when they get OFF the plane, are we putting 278 people into isolation because they may have been exposed?
send congress (both houses and all the support staff), the supreme court, all the justices in the court system, HHS, IRS, DHS, DOE.DNI plus the entire white house contingent and the entire obola family and michelle in her spanx along with the Reids, Pelosis and the Clintoons to Liberia to check how the troops are doing...

I yearn for the good old days when all we had to worry about was being groped by a pervert from Border protection or snakes in a plane.
I'm not impressed withthe reaction so far. I hear the US army is erecting a big tent in Africa. Now the UK army is erecting a very small tent showing solidarity.
Every instance in US and Europe has been bungled hugely. Don't the authorities ever watch a movie? We need a massive deployment - massive.
I want Bruce Willis, Dustin Hoffman, I want Scarlet Johansen
They are losing it.
This will be Obama's Katrina.
I'll bet they already have stocked up the underground sealed pleasure dome for the elites They can fix up the old one from Dr Strangelove.
When it comes to bombing however, the reaction is instant, the budget is unlimited, even if the terrorits threat is pretty much mimimal and in any case is back here, not over there. Yes - That's it!! Lets bomb this virus back to the stone age.
if those soldiers get infected and die i wonder if the people who gave the order will ever pay.
