State legislatures could bypass the fed device or authority, and just require airlines flying into their state from the Ebola-region to post a bond of twenty million to cover costs if required. That would scare most airlines immediately to stop such flights.

[txrefugee]

The airlines must be run by morons. They fought the proposed safer travel law because it was deemed “too expensive.” Do they think people will be doing much traveling with Ebola victims on airplanes? They deserve to be boycotted.

That’s fine that Alan Grayson is calling for restrictions on flights to and from the ebola stricken countries, but where are the other congressmen/women? I haven’t heard a peep from anyone about this. This is insanity.

Anyone still think this is a coinkydink ?

Anyone ? ?

Seems like they also scrapped the “AND PREVENTION” department of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Where are the first responders? Where is the first line of defense? Just a bunch of bureaucrats scratching their heads and pointing fingers.

I keep putting this together with the rabid environmentalists’ call for depopulation.

OK. Have me fitted for a tinfoil hat.

Reminds me of California during the first run of Jerry Brown. He REFUSED aerial spraying for the Fruit Flies (which would have wiped out the entire citrus crop in the state), and only relied on ground spraying. The environmentalists LOVED HIM for it. So did the Fruit Flies.

Once he was replaced, the state had to SPRAY LIKE MAD, everywhere. They did manage to knock down the bug, but only after spraying at least 10 times, maybe 100 times as much Malathion as would have been necessary if they had simply sprayed in the first place. I still remember the planes going over and the light mist sprinkling down.

What is needed to be pointed out is that heads of deparments of government while those that are suggested to run them are recomended by the president. They sworn to protect and support the constitution, not the executive branch, and are approved to serve by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent. Therefore they and their respective departments are answerable to congress which funds these operations and can refuse an executive order if that order works contrary to existing legislation or the interests of the country ..

While this affected airline travel doesn’t the INS have or had similar regulations for immigration ? Which may have been enacted through legislation. Including background checks ?

[CincyRichieRich]

Treason.

Almost as bad is we are now finding out.

Boehner, Cruz, Gowdy, Paul, (I am listing republicans, not who is conservative and who is not) Grahamnesty, McCain, no one seems to even have known or are saying...

Would our side have even brought this up?

Much like the welfare work requirement, stroke of a pen and our side doesn’t say a peep.

You would think one of the staff members of our side watches what 0bola does and lets our side know and our side perhaps might let the public know???

[greeneyes]

Proposed in 2005? That explains it. Bush’s fault. I know you could see that one coming-couldn’t you?

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

[Gritty]

Most Americans have bought in to the "it can't happen here" syndrome because we are so "technologically advanced and modern". Political Correctness has vastly stilled the voices of reason and especially among the politicians and bureaucrats who continue to beat both drums.

With such hubris, we are headed for a real fall. It is likely the casualties will be in the tens if not hundreds of millions of dead.
