Question #5 is outrageous.

Might be better to direct it to the UN.
How is it outrageous? Considering the question is related to Ebola on airplanes, you just know they have been speculating about this for some time now. Ted Cruz, the lawyer and former state prosecutor, would know very well that this agency has been thinking about this very question, as have other agencies including the CDC and most likely the United Nations.

Doctors and nurses in Africa don't have the same level of protective gear, equipment, or facilities as those found in the West. Nothing to indicate that Ebola has morphed into an airborne virus but I am encouraged that the right is finally acknowledging evolution.

There is no international law that requires a passport be stamped. Some people prefer their passports not be stamped. Some countries charge a fee if the traveler wants a stamp.

It's obvious that there is now some semblance of coordination with Monrovia and the 2 commercial carriers that continue to fly between Monrovia and Cassablanca or Brussels and connecting flights to the U.S.
But we DO require visas if people are visiting from those countries. Canceling any visas and not issuing new ones would at last stem the tide of the incoming at least.

This Ebola virus is going to get real serious soon. Our government doesn't care if half the country gets infected.

Biometric chips have been implanted in all US issued passports since 2007. Those issued prior to 2007 remain valid for ten years.

One of the intents of this long term international initiative is to trend towards visa less travel between participating countries. The global community has a long, long way to go to be in a position to have the technology and agreements in place to read, record and track international travel. It's also a privacy issue.

According to Dr. Paul Farmer, african health care systems lack "staff, stuff, and systems" which is why it is spreading so rapidly there.

It's obvious why we should be helping these people.
