In response to the recent Ebola crisis and the heightened risk for Transportation Security Officers, Border Patrol agents and other federal employees, AFGE is urging the government to take all necessary measures to protect the public and government employees stationed at the U.S. ports of entry and other sites from potential exposure to the Ebola virus.
“We expect every precaution to be taken to detect and isolate infected travelers at the earliest point in their journey to the United States in order to minimize exposure and reduce the risk of infection,” said AFGE President J. David Cox Sr. “Our members at TSA, Border Patrol and elsewhere have expressed concerns about their risk of exposure. AFGE is committed to continue working with management at TSA and the Border Patrol to ensure all appropriate precautions are in place, and to ensure that our officers receive the best prevention training and personal protective equipment available.”
Or maybe The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) reads FR;)

Relax, the pax are being screened at the point of departure. There is absolutely nothing about which to be concerned. Let not your heart (or blood or vital organs) be troubled, the great Dr. Frieden has spoken.
Oh wait, he was worried about your caloric intake just like he was for the New Yorkers. Øbola? that’s a whole different story.
The feral gummint:
“If you like being without Ebola you can stay without Ebola.”
I thought the White Hut said it’s almost impossible for Americans, especially white Americans, to catch Ebola. What the heck is the AFGE thugs worried about? Don’t they believe their own massas?
It’s a Federal Government FUBAR;)
Trust your friend, the Government. We know what we're doing.

This is going to be fun watch tsa agents do a pat down and then touch around their eyes after the pat down.
The Ebola crisis is now over,the AFGE President J. David Cox Sr. has spoken,tomorrow the union reps will bring cookies and t shirts;)
Blood seeping from their pores, eyes, ears or other orifices should alert the employees to take the traveler’s temperature.
Could get worse,they may vomit right on these employees,that’s not good.

Maybe they'll re-think the body cavity searches....
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

What risk? The gummint says that Ebola is perfectly safe as long as no one pukes on you.
Interesting how all of the Ebola news has slowed to a crawl. I guess it’s all gone.
Um... I don’t think I want any of those “scientists” in my lab. Shooting a flask full of pathogens is a sure way to spread them all over the place—that lab is going to need to be fumigated! (With formaldehyde.)
Oh, sheesh, mom, I was just having fun...:-)
