On Monday on HLN, CNN medical reporter Elizabeth Cohen said she was aghast at the lax screening procedures at airports for passengers who might have been exposed to Ebola. She said that even after she told agents she was coming back from Liberia and had been covering the Ebola epidemic, the screening agents did not seem to care and could not even tell her what symptoms were Ebola warning signs.
"I expected that they were going to take my temperature, they would ask me lots of questions, but they didn’t," Cohen said on HLN on Monday. "I said, 'I'm a journalist. I’ve come back from Liberia. I was covering Ebola.' And the gentleman who was helping me--the officer--he started to hand my passport back and say, 'welcome home.'"
Cohen told host Robin Meade that the screening agent then said, "oh wait a second, I got an email about passengers like you, hold on a second." According to Cohen, "he went and conferred with someone and he didn’t know, and they conferred with someone else and" he ultimately said, "you need to watch yourself for signs of Ebola."
Cohen said, "and I said, 'well what am I watching for?' and he couldn’t tell me."
On Sunday's Meet the Press, Andrea Mitchell said the Obama administration believes it can screen about "75% of the people coming in... at four main airports [JFK, Dulles, O'Hare, Newark]." She also said "you cannot trust" West Africans to honestly answer the Ebola questionnaires before boarding flights to America as more officials have called on the Obama administration to institute an Ebola travel ban.

How stupid can reporters be?? Oh...nevermind...
Borders are racist!
By lax he means “Darn near nonexistent.”
Killing Americans is always part of OBAMA’S plans.
The very STORY s/he chooses to report, the amount of coverage, the "slant," the visual coverage, the folks s/he might interview, the length of the coverage and the repeatability of said coverage ALL demonstrate "bias," good, bad or indifferent.
What does count for me is my own personal experience with said topic. I had a great deal of experience in the middle east some years ago.
That would be my conclusion as well.
“CNN medical reporter Elizabeth Cohen said she was aghast at the lax screening procedures at airports for passengers who might have been exposed to Ebola.”
That’s because the Kenyan Fraud wants Ebola brought into this country, bimbo. Along with bankrupting the country, it’s part of his “hope and change.”
It is more important that some grandmother have her knitting needles confiscated or some middle-aged dude with a C-PAP machine have it tested for possible explosives.
It almost seems like they want Ebola to make it to the United States.
But that’s just crazy-talk!
In certain other cultures it’s not so much “lying” as a belief that they should tell you what you want to hear, I’ve experienced that many times to my chagrin. It’s especially challenging as a buyer.
That said, in a disease outbreak with the US having broadcast to the world that we can successfully treat a horrible virus with such a fatality rate, of course they’re lying to get here.
Meanwhile, Obama wants to negotiate with the Ebolan leadership.
elections have consequences
Who is the "Ebolan leadership" here and why do you call whoever they are THAT? Honest questions.
*snicker*
The leader of the the Ebolans that he sent our troops to “fight”.
[How can soldiers fight a virus? By shooting it?]
1. YOU betcha!
I often would say: Which version of truth do you want to hear: yours or mine? Then, I would smile. I still have a charming smile...especially since I still have all my own teeth. Or so, I've been told.
2. YOU betcha!
Haven’t we always been at war with the Ebolans?
