“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.”
They must go to these 5 airport..Because they must have a health screening that only these 5 airports are set up to give
The critical point being ALL coming from these hot zone countries will now be required to have a health check before entry in to the US..so can only entry via and airport set up for it
If you have flown international your familiar with custom. . You must clear customs at your entry point to the country before you can connect to your next flight internally inside the US...So to be an International airport it must have a customs checkpoint in-place
So now traveler from hot zone country will also be required to clear a health check .. so that airport must have a health check point in-place.
So the next step is the health check before they ever get on the plane to the US...
This is like customs flying in to the US from Canada..
I just flew back from Canada to the US a few weeks back.
The US customs is set up at the Canadian airport.. you have to clear US custom before you can even get on a plane flying direct to the US
