The flight information for the Ebola patient diagnosed in Texas will not be released by health officials because "It's just not necessary," a spokesperson at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told ABC News.
"If we need to contact passengers we have a way. We'd call ourselves," the CDC spokesperson said.

How do they know he wasn’t exhibiting symptoms, albeit mild ones?
Were they sitting beside him monitoring him?
So even assuming he wasn’t feverish when he boarded the flight in Africa (which is a big assumption), he had a long journey. He could easily have been showing symptoms on arrival.
Idiocy.
WTF????
Typical bureaucratic response. “We know better than you, we are smarter than you, we are the experts, so you are at our mercy. Like it!”
Clearly.
Since there are NO direct flights from Monrovia to Dallas, he could have come an almost infinite variety of ways, with a stop/transfer in London or Brussels. Then direct flight to NY/Phila/DC/Chicago/Miami? Where?
One of my kids was in Morovia about a year or more ago. My memory, such as it is, is that there’s basically a daily flight from Monrovia to Brussels, and that’s it. There MAY be a flight to London or Frankfurt, other major Euro transfer points, not sure.
How many on his flights/how many in those airports/how many of those were with how many others?
Did you see this? Unbelievable.
Basically, more government people saying “trust us”.
I’ve got a better one.
IF he stayed in DC any amount of time and then re-entered the airport and got rechecked by security not ONLY could he have been early symptomatic and spreading it via stuff he touched that’s not all. His baggage that he touched could have been checked. And jostled against who knows who’s baggage in the handling facility. If wiped a big snotty booger off his nose and then put his bag on the scales and thence on the conveyor, just having a bag go through Dulles that day or maybe the next could be a risk.
Oh yeah. I saw this. Arrogance on a stick.
It means they think he may have been symptomatic on at least one of his flights. And ‘entered the country on Sep 20’ doesn’t NECESSARILY translate into landed at DFW on the 20th. He could have stayed in the DC area for a time. And any time further, given his initial ER visit may have been as soon as the 24th, could have placed him being symptomatic on a flight or in/through a major air transport hub.
“It’s just not necessary,”
This is what makes satire seem so real! We have truly fallen a long ways.
[ Bad move. People on those flights should BOLO for symptoms. ]
The man could have taken a dump in plane toilet and some bodily fluids left behind for the next person to pick it up....
But no, we gotta ignore the facts and live the agenda...
President Ebola also gave amnesty to Liberians.
Here's the video.

Or maybe, just maybe some honest civil servant or knowing employee somewhere will have the conscience to provide that information.
Insubordination against this administration will be required or we will never know the truth or be able to protect ourselves.
Part of the problem in diagnosing Ebola comes from the fact that patients, like this man, can take up to 21 days to exhibit symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding.
Paging Mr. James O'Keefe... we have your next assignment for you.
Not necessary... What if I was or knew someone who was on the flight? I say stick this bureaucrat in the isolation ward witrh the Ebola guy if he doesn’t give the information...
Well the government assclowns can't fool the market... DJIA down about 220 points on the PANIC.
What is being done now is stupid, irresponsible, dangerous and will be criminal. When the folly is recognized or the public rage demands a change of approach it will be too late.
In emergency response we have a creed that many follow,
IN AN EMERGENCY ALWAYS RESPOND WITH MAXIMUM FORCE AND REDUCE THE APPLICATION OF FORCE AS NECESSARY.
In almost every event I have ever been involved in when this creed is not followed the result is bad.
I hope you can someday say how wrong I am but I am very sadly doubtful of that.
