War On Terror: As the Ebola disease spreads in Africa and detainees from that continent are apprehended, the question must be asked: What if terrorists already willing to die try to bring the disease across our porous southern border?
The Ebola outbreak that has killed at least 672 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone could land in the U.S., according to John O'Connor, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It's true," he says, "that anyone with an illness is just one plane ride away from coming to the U.S." Indeed, a Liberian man infected with Ebola boarded a plane and brought the disease to Lagos, Nigeria, Africa's largest city, with 21 million people.
But what if in the future it's no accident? Nigeria is the home of Boko Haram. The Islamic terrorist group ISIL has long been recruiting terrorists in the West and is known to have members with Western, even American, passports.
Deliberately spreading the disease to the U.S. might not even require a plane ride, and it's possibile that terrorists already willing to strap bombs to their bodies might just as willingly get infected and pay a coyote to get them across our open southern border.

A Obama made invasion at our southern border could very likely kill many Americans.
After all, if a 10 yr. old kid can get across the border what is stopping a terrorist!

IBT “it’s infectious, not contagious” posts.
The EXEMPT obviously welcome Ebola with open
borders (despite America HATING THEM FOR IT), because
1) THEY alone are protected.
2) They will institute marshal law and get MORE POWER
and forever.
It’s guaranteed with the band of incompetents His Arrogance has appointed.

Second time, today, I've heard someone mention Marshal law.
that and the WH invitations.

This is what I and other Freepers have been saying from the start of this Ebola episode. Why do terrorists have to sweat about sneaking weapons onto planes, at great cost and difficulty, when they can take advantage of a disease? A simple vial or capsule containing diseased fluid, consumed just prior to going through a security checkpoint at an airport, each taken by a dozen or two co-conspirators willing to be martyrs to the cause, can bring this country to it's knees. And there is very little that can be done to prevent it.
Basic N95 masks are currently around 20 for $10 on Amazon.com. More for nicer ones with the exhaust valve. Selling briskly. Got mine ordered. If it happens, good luck getting them locally.
Lots of people think this has been the lefts plan all along.
Tom Clancy painted this very scenario in Executive Orders.
