The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that all people flying from three Ebola affected nations must fly through one of five American airports. One of the airports being Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
DHS says this move is to help prevent the spread of the deadly virus in the United States.
Passengers flying from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea will undergo additional health screenings and protective measures that were put into place at the five airports last week. The five airports are JFK, Newark, Dulles, Atlanta and O'Hare.
This new mandate will go into effect Wednesday.

They are all major hubs, so the restriction is irrelevent.
And they can simply get on a connecting flight to anywhere in the U.S. This is stupid.
Duncan’s flight went from Belgium to Dallas.
He connected through Dulles, although that didn’t matter one bit.
They wouldn’t have detected anything at all.
Its a start..this is the minimum I was expecting from the start.. if you have done international travel this is common to have a health check control point for entry.
this it and ever so slight government pulling head out of ass
Its movement in the right direction
“It my understanding that it is not that they must go to one of these airports.....they are to be given a health /ebola screening at these airports .. that these are the five control point set up to give an examination.”
No, according to Jeh Johnson, they MUST go through one of these 5 airports, starting Wednesday.
Jeh Johnson, secretary of homeland security, announced that travelers from West Africa must arrive at one of the five airports starting Wednesday.
“We are working closely with the airlines to implement these restrictions with minimal travel disruption,” Johnson said. “If not already handled by the airlines, the few impacted travelers should contact the airlines for rebooking, as needed.”
What about Boston...Philly....Miami...Tampa...DFW...Charlotte....St Louis...Minneapolis....Denver...Seattle...SFO...LAX...?
Thanks for sending them to Atlanta you pack of unprepossessing morons. Why not make them all sign in through our African embassy the WhiteHut?
“DHS says this move is to help prevent the spread of the deadly virus in the United States.”
Huh?
It would help ‘prevent the spread’ to keep the OUT altogether!
Duhhh!
Yep...same TSA that confiscated my P-38 can opener on my dog tags because it was a "deadly edged weapon". Seriously. They took my can opener off my dogtags while I was in uniform. Damn near started a riot with patriots behind me belittling them.
The way I read the new rules, Duncan’s travel would have been considered to have originated in West Africa. So under the new rules, he would have been required to be screened at Dulles.
This would not have caught someone going from w. Africa (ex: Liberia ) to Brussels, Brussels to the east coast, then east coast to Dallas.
Check the passports beforehand and if its from w. Africa, don’t issue em a visa.
Oh crap!!! Wonder, joy, and glory. O’Hare is the major hub airport I use for most of my domestic flying and I’ve used Atlanta for every one of my international flights, except ones going to Canada, where I’ve used O’Hare.
If that evil subhuman Obola can direct all of the plague flights to those five locations, he damn well can and should stop them. It just shows how much he utterly, bitterly hates America and Americans
I glad there there folks giving them shit for taking it.
Just great - I am flying from Newark to Atlanta next week and have to come back in 72 hours....
dem controlled zones to oversee the infected as they enter the US
what could possibly go wrong with that...
