The question was one of getting an infected person into the US illegally.
From there, infection would be likely along natural pathways through human contact, and the outbreak would build from there.
Unless, of course the sick jihadi picked a crowded venue to blow themselves up in.
Then you'd have aerosols, direct fluid contact, piece to person contact, and fomites all in one mess, and with the addition of shrapnel, plenty of open wounds among the initial survivors, and contamination of medical personnel and first responders, among others.
That precedent exists, at least in attempt, sans pathogen. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1497194/posts)

As I have said before, I will not speculate on what terrorists can or will do with Ebola. All of the information that I have posted is strictly limited to natural infections and routes of transmission.

There is a reason Ebola is considered a Level A biothreat agent. And that is all I will say about that.

I am well aware Ebola is a Level 4 threat. That is part of the reason I started this thread.

I read your posts, and decided to fill that gap.

You keep saying what isn't possible, and I only want to point out that I think you have not considered all aspects. By not considering terrorist activity, you confirm my statement.

It really does not matter whether the disease gets off the State Department shuttle, comes over the southern border as part of an ISIS/ISIL operation, or flies in from Lagos after a 30 day hitch on an oil rig, it can get here.
