War On Terror: As the Ebola disease spreads in Africa and detainees from that continent are apprehended, the question must be asked: What if terrorists already willing to die try to bring the disease across our porous southern border?

The Ebola outbreak that has killed at least 672 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone could land in the U.S., according to John O'Connor, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It's true," he says, "that anyone with an illness is just one plane ride away from coming to the U.S." Indeed, a Liberian man infected with Ebola boarded a plane and brought the disease to Lagos, Nigeria, Africa's largest city, with 21 million people.

But what if in the future it's no accident? Nigeria is the home of Boko Haram. The Islamic terrorist group ISIL has long been recruiting terrorists in the West and is known to have members with Western, even American, passports.

Deliberately spreading the disease to the U.S. might not even require a plane ride, and it's possibile that terrorists already willing to strap bombs to their bodies might just as willingly get infected and pay a coyote to get them across our open southern border.

Maks will be useless. Ebola is not airborne unless you get sprayed with the body fluid from an infected person. It is not transmitted by air. the best protection is disposable gloves and learning to remove them without touching them Same goes for your clothing. Practice removing your clothing without touching an outside surface.

If Ebola comes to your community, disposable suits would be a smart investment.

Look up ‘Apocalypse Equation’ and the chick behind that idea.

Obama should be impeached for leaving the borders open, especially when the CDC has Ebola at level 2 threat. Most have probably have seen the many articles out there warning, but this administration will keep the borders open until Ebola is here, then it’s too late. If our leaders think they can escape this, we will have proof this are delusional.

Two Americans providing humanitarian assistance (Samaritans Purse) in West Africa have become infected with Ebola. Family members of one of them, Kent Brantly, a doctor, had been living with him in Africa, but returned to the USA before he began showing symptoms. To be careful, however, the family is on a “21-day fever watch,” in which they are being asked to monitor themselves for symptoms, says Stephan Monroe, deputy director of the CDC’s national center for emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases.

Yep. Once here and showing symptoms, mix some body fluids into a pink misting fan: walk down a crowded NYC street, stand over a crowded DC subway stairwell, upper decks at a baseball game, etc. Go to an amusement/water park for the day, an outdoor concert, clubbing at night, swim in a resevoir, maybe even get yourself arrested and thrown into GP for a day. The possibilities are endless.
