The question was one of getting an infected person into the US illegally.

From there, infection would be likely along natural pathways through human contact, and the outbreak would build from there.

Unless, of course the sick jihadi picked a crowded venue to blow themselves up in.

Then you'd have aerosols, direct fluid contact, piece to person contact, and fomites all in one mess, and with the addition of shrapnel, plenty of open wounds among the initial survivors, and contamination of medical personnel and first responders, among others.

That precedent exists, at least in attempt, sans pathogen. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1497194/posts)

As I have said before, I will not speculate on what terrorists can or will do with Ebola. All of the information that I have posted is strictly limited to natural infections and routes of transmission.

There is a reason Ebola is considered a Level A biothreat agent. And that is all I will say about that.
