#1 Ebola will likely not arrive via airplane, but it will walk across the Texas or Arizona border and disappear into urban America.

#2 "...But federal health officials say it’s not a big worry for most Americans."

#3 Me thinks a group of sociopathic drooling fanatics could deliberately toss an Ebola carrier on a jet to the US. By the time he got to customs and began hemorrhaging, he would have infected hundreds.

Biological warfare doesn't have to be an aerosol can full of Cholera or a couple of envelops of Anthrax mailed to a school. The simplest and for those who do not have the glove boxes and centrifuges needed to manufacture a biological weapon, is to just grab someone with a particularly nasty infectious disease and buy him a plane ticket. By the time the plane lands at Kennedy, O'Hare, Bush, or LAX, you would have 200 or so infected people plus everyone the person comes into contact as they walked to the customs gate.

Given as how the region is so in turmoil, and given the lack of rational thought by most Islamic Fanatics in Africa, THIS is more disturbing to me, the potential for deliberate infection, than some of the other developments.

#4 i don't really understand why lots of Americans are worried about ebola walking in from mexico - the afrians are not going to fly to mexico. They are going to fly to london and the USA. They follow money. They want to go to developed nations with good hospitals. Plus I doubt many mexicans are volunteering in ebola zones - your risk is the Samaritans Purse volunteers and NGO employees (who also won't likely be mexican) fleeing back home - to London, Paris and the USA... From Mexico you will get unwanted immigration and probably drugs and gun crime but they won't have ebola

#5 interesting thought on islamonazi suicide ebola mission

I don't think it would appeal to their heroic mindset though

there is "honour" in blowing yourself up

but not in vomiting and diarrhoea everywhere so nobody wants to touch you

how are the virgins going to love you in paradise if you are a contaminated ebola victim? I don't think they'll go for it

#6 Not necessarily an Islamist but anyone contaminated with Ebola could be shoved on an airplane and flown somewhere.
