Obama administration officials said they believe that screening of passengers in the affected countries in Africa, by taking their temperature and requesting information about their activities, is the best way to prevent the virus from spreading to the United States.

Yeah, if I thought I contacted Ebola and believed the only possible way to survive was to travel to the USA for the best medical care in the world...

I would lie my arse off...take something to get the fever down and fly...

I've seen a lot of movies, and asking information of activities doesn't work. They need to block the borders, and request papers certifying a clean bill of health by doctors! "Vhere are your papers!". Idiots asking questions will always get lies in return. Now if the travelers were blocked and or quarantined on arrival, we might be safer. Obama endangers us all.

Many here would claim that they just know they would never do anything like try to get here to save their own skins - obviously have no idea of human nature and just assume that they would willingly forfeit their lives for "the common good". I don't know what I would do because I haven't had to make the decision.

Plus, how many times has one woke up feeling fine and developed a fever and symptoms of a cold/Flu by lunchtime? Huge gaping flaw in the "take their temperature and have them fill out a questionnaire" as a "prophylactic measure"...
