ABC News ^ | October 1, 2014 | By MEGHAN KENEALLY

Posted on 10/01/2014 11:13:37 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The flight information for the Ebola patient diagnosed in Texas will not be released by health officials because "It's just not necessary," a spokesperson at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told ABC News.

"If we need to contact passengers we have a way. We'd call ourselves," the CDC spokesperson said.

Bad move. People on those flights should BOLO for symptoms.

I’d sure as hell want to know if I was on those flights. Or knew someone who was

Insanity. And to the person(s) who posted, no matter how developed, secure, etc the protocols are, some of the people involved in them (see e.g. Presbyterian ER) aren’t doing their jobs.

And that’s all it takes.

Par for the course for the most transparent administration in history.

The CDC has their orders to ensure Ebola spreads resulting from their passive behavior.

Now that the guys name is known and his picture is out..somebody will figure out the route. If the govt won’t tell then there will just be maybe inaccurate or incomplete info published on the net.

You have got to be kidding me.....

"It's just not necessary,"

Maybe, maybe not, but wouldn't it be prudent considering the seriousness of this disease....... [see tagline]

Does CDC know what taxis the people on that flight got into? Who they shared the taxi with. If they went to a restaurant in that taxi.

Translation. We don’t want the folks to panic. Translation of “panic” - citizens realizing that the officials screwed up and calling them about it.

Instead of properly informing about 200 people they were on an Ebola flight, they’ll let tens of thousands worry they were on the Ebola flight.

Way to go, government.

“shovel ready jobs” will be the regime’s spin.

CDC is full of BS. I no longer trust them. The head of the CDC is an elitist bullcrap artist. He is a liar.

How to spread Ebola for $1,800

Uncle Sam has spent the past decade and a half frightening you out of your basic rights. He listens in on your phone calls... he practically takes naked pictures of you at the airport... and he’ll tell you he’s doing it for ONE reason.

We are fighting the most frightening undeclared war in American history.

There are terrorist cells in every corner of the world — even sleeper cells right here in America — just waiting for an opportunity to create the next 9/11.

Or something worse.

But there’s a new terror hitting American soil, and it’s our own politicians unleashing the carnage. Countless American lives may be at stake right now, thanks to the single greatest risk to your safety — and your life.

Political correctness.

Ebola, one of the most gruesome deaths on the planet, is burning like a brushfire through Africa — and it’s now reached America. The same global health officials who claimed the disease was “contained” now admit it may infect 1.4 million people worldwide... and counting.

Just days ago, our president stood before the United Nations and declared Ebola an urgent national security threat. So why the heck isn’t he halting flights from infected regions of Africa to the United States?

The truth is, he’s jeopardizing your life so he doesn’t have to hurt some Third World politician’s feelings.

And the damage has already been done. Right now we have a confirmed Ebola case in Dallas, and it appears the patient recently arrived from Africa. We don’t know if this patient has infected others — but there’s no doubt a travel ban could have prevented the whole ordeal.

But you don’t need some accidental tourist to bring Ebola into America. Any terrorist with $2,000 to spend could do the job.

Did you know you can book a flight from Freetown, Sierra Leone to JFK for just $1,800? Right now. You could be spreading Ebola across America in less than a day’s travel time.

And if you think this is a bridge too far for the ISIS and al Qaeda terrorists of the world... if you don’t think they’d attempt this kind of suicide mission... remind yourself that these are the same crazies who strap bombs to their chests.

Except an Ebola outbreak would be much more terrifying.

While Obama is acting like the top rooster on the world stage, you and I are sitting ducks. Your safety... right now... is in the hands of Third World airport security and America’s porous borders.

Contact your elected officials today and DEMAND that we halt all air travel between America and nations infected with Ebola. Because it’s high time we stopped protecting foreign politicians’ feelings — and started protecting Americans instead.

This country asked for Ebola by announcing to the world that we could cure the disease.
