Idiots. 94% of traveleres from W Africa already come through those 5 airports.
This does exactly nothing.
It stops those who think they might've been exposed in western Africa from choosing to avoid the screened airports. It's a minor acknowledgement that Ebola could spread much more easily than in the gibberish the ptb are "reassuring the public" with indicates.
And they can simply get on a connecting flight to anywhere in the U.S. This is stupid.
Exactly right - as with other Obola initiatives, make it appear you’re doing something while actually doing nothing.
Further, this is a tacit admission that travelers can and do bring the disease here.
Now if they could just make the leap that the best way to prevent the spread outside of Africa is to keep people from getting on the planes in the first place is the only sane approach. Does it make any sense at all that we would put the other 200-300 passengers at risk for the 8 to 16 hour flight? If they’re exposed, then presumably travel on from these 5 gateways unimpeded, you’re literally risking the population of the country.
