I suspect that it might be legally questionable to quarantine someone who has tested negative, thereby prohibiting him or her from traveling to another state.

As long as this kind of travel takes place on non-public transport, I am okay with this policy.

Of course, the first time that someone like this becomes infected after transport, there will be new demands for quarantines in that person’s home state.

It is probably reasonable to assume that many states will follow NY and NJ’s lead. And THAT is why Obama is so concerned about their policies.

Considering what ebola actually is and the 21 day incubation period, It is a national security issue. Her rights do not trump those of 300,000,000 other peoples right to remain alive.

I suspect that depends upon the statute. There is precedent for instituting quarantine upon the basis of contact.
