There are no direct flights from the Ebola hot zones.
THIS!!! Amazing that CNN puts out an article that suggests like there are. Check the websites - absolutely zero scheduled flights between the U.S. and Sierra Leone, Liberia, or Guinea. There are no flights to ban!!!
People are getting wrapped around the axle with the semantics of this. Why can't we ban all incoming travelers from these hot zone countries? Check their passports and if they were there within the last month, don't let them in. Why is that so hard? Or is it just racist and that's why we can't do it.
Most people have more than one passport. They could get in if they wanted, even with your super defense plan.

Have you looked up the definition of Most lately? Very few people have two passports. It costs >$100, requires written justification and will expire in two years instead of ten like the first one.
I heard today that all travelers from infected countries will have to arrive in one of five airports in the US. Sounds reasonable so that Ebola experts can give them the once over before admitting to the country.
The reason to not do it is better tracking of people coming here. Like previous posters have said they will find a way to get here whether or not we ban travel.
Would you prefer to have infecteds sneak in and possibly spread? Or have them come in checked where we can keep tabs and make sure everyone around them stays monitored?

The United States isn't planning on banning flights coming from the hot zones in West Africa, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in August.
But once flights land at a U.S. airport from one of those countries, passengers are screened once again.
.... This administration is so opening and welcoming to foreigners, that they're going to let them run rampant in America with ebola too. Smh. Anyone who elected this clown Obama, well, I hope you all are happy with the mess we have on our hands.
Obama really botched this one. The disease is spreading like wildfire. He should have listened to all the Christian hysteria instead of making a data driven decision
