The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that all people flying from three Ebola affected nations must fly through one of five American airports. One of the airports being Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
DHS says this move is to help prevent the spread of the deadly virus in the United States.
Passengers flying from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea will undergo additional health screenings and protective measures that were put into place at the five airports last week. The five airports are JFK, Newark, Dulles, Atlanta and O'Hare.
This new mandate will go into effect Wednesday.

A concession to the actual People of the USA.
Wow.
...And they sneak across one unprotected border.
All the biggest city’s too!
“Sooner or later everyone lands in Bangor”.
None of that makes any sense. What, they’re given X amount of breadcrumbs at the beginning of their trip so that by the time they get to the US they’re out of crumbs and hence, free of Ebola?
“Duncan’s flight went from Belgium to Dallas.”
No, it wasn’t. He went from Belgium to Dulles and then Dulles to Dallas.
No, they're not. This applies to any West African travelers coming in on connecting flights.
They must go to these 5 airport..Because they must have a health screening that only these 5 airports are set up to give
The critical point being ALL coming from these hot zone countries will now be required to have a health check before entry in to the US..so can only entry via and airport set up for it
If you have flown international your familiar with custom. . You must clear customs at your entry point to the country before you can connect to your next flight internally inside the US...So to be an International airport it must have a customs checkpoint in-place
So now traveler from hot zone country will also be required to clear a health check .. so that airport must have a health check point in-place.
So the next step is the health check before they ever get on the plane to the US...
This is like customs flying in to the US from Canada..
I just flew back from Canada to the US a few weeks back.
The US customs is set up at the Canadian airport.. you have to clear US custom before you can even get on a plane flying direct to the US
Now we know which airports to scrupulously avoid.
Hasn't Lagos already banned flights out of these affected countries?
Hmmm, spacing and gate availability might stop planes from landing there. Landing rights and all that.
Logan and T.F. Green, for example.
T.F. Green Airport to start offering European flights

"Rhode Island (specifically Providence) has the highest Liberian population in America."

Exactly right - as with other Obola initiatives, make it appear you’re doing something while actually doing nothing.
Further, this is a tacit admission that travelers can and do bring the disease here.
Now if they could just make the leap that the best way to prevent the spread outside of Africa is to keep people from getting on the planes in the first place is the only sane approach. Does it make any sense at all that we would put the other 200-300 passengers at risk for the 8 to 16 hour flight? If they’re exposed, then presumably travel on from these 5 gateways unimpeded, you’re literally risking the population of the country.
Yes,Logan gets a dozen or more flights from Europe and Asia each day.I didn't know about TF Green but I seem to recall Bradley in Hartford advertising a non-stop to a European city (can't recall) which one.So one should probably wonder in Milwaukee...Kansas City...and other small/medium sized cities having direct international service.
Did Johnson run this by Klain or did Klain run this through Johnson? And what about Frieden, POSOTUS, CONgre$$ on this brilliant plan? /sarc
tREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, media-complicit, representative-enabled, ongoing...
You’re right. The enhanced screening does not stop the virus from getting into this country. Ebola virus carriers not showing symptoms are waved on through.
I don’t believe this. Are they going to turn back people with a Liberian passport who fly to Brussels and then fly on a separate ticket from there to Orlando?
Ensuring maximum contamination by sending them to some of the busiest air terminals in the country. Brilliant.
