Thank you, I appreciate the insight! I have to say that the very thought of some tourist coming into the country with Ebola by plane was making me very nervous, given the porous and very poorly monitored borders we have.
Not to throw gas on the worry-fire...but I would less fear the casual tourist, than one of the ISIS fanatics who holds a US Passport. The virus has a 20 day incubation period; a martyr could book a trip...get a quick exposure from a live bodily-fluid virus before boarding, and stroll through NY spreading the cheer before the stuff really kicked in. A team of these sociopaths like in 9-11, could be a real problem; if there is a way to transport a viable virus.
Regardless, the survival rate over here would be more like %50; we'd get the handle on it pretty quick.
They need to close that border and revoke passports from shady individuals. ASAP.

That would be a terribly inefficient "attack".
