“....anyone with an illness or symptoms typical of the highly virulent disease shouldn’t be allowed to travel unless it’s for appropriate medical care....”

.
So anyone requiring “appropriate medical care” will be allowed to spread the virus among the passengers in a cooped-up airplane flight?

Early detection is key in fighting the disease. However, current tests only show results in seven to ten days because samples have to be flown to testing centers in Europe.

Corgenix is perfecting a home blood test kit that would provide results in just 15 minutes

But at present, there is no rapid assay test for Ebola virus

Okey-dokey.

My prediction is that somewhere, soon, a passenger will fall ill after flying on a plane with an Ebola carrier. If that passenger is American, there will be a lawsuit against the airline filed within milliseconds of the diagnosis. And all air travel to affected African countries will stop the next day.

I was in Zambia for the past few weeks, and counting the 6 domestic flights (plus the flights from/to Amsterdam) I was in the airport in Lusaka several times. I watched several flights from Nigeria and elsewhere arrive/depart, and there is no checking of anything. Heck, several times I walked through the metal detector setting off the alarm and there was no one around to give me the second check... just waltz on through.

So, if this airport is any indication of things throughout Africa, I have little confidence that they can do much of anything to screen people who might be a danger.
