In answer to your question, "As We Bring Infected Americans Back..." yes. As the United States coordinates the transportation and treatment of these individuals, there should be no problems unless there is some fluid sharing with the infected and non-infected. Could happen, but I doubt it.
However, the problem is not with the Americans the United States brings back. The problem is with those who come to the U.S. who have not been identified with Ebola. The ones who come by way of another location after the contracted. Those are the population you cannot control and would spread the virus unchecked. Isn't the Ebola incubation somewhere around 2 weeks where it is undetectable? How many people might have this and travel and spread that is the real safety issue to the U.S. IMO

Cpl (Join to see) Very true. The guy in Dallas lied about being around ebola patients when asked.

This is the one we know about...
How many others are not going to get treatment and staying home infecting others. You may have seen in the ongoing reporting that the relatives of that guy in Dallas did not want their place sanitized and resisted quarantine. Again this is the one we know about.

Which is why I believe we should not be worried about being politically correct and close our borders to anyone coming from one of the infected areas. At least until they have been quarantined for the incubation period. This is proof the CDC's questioner isn't doing the job of protecting American citizens. I'm sorry but the guy isn't even American. and I will bet the family he was coming to visit is undocumented. Probably why they are being so uncooperative. Though others might argue its my conservative paranoia. But this is no time for political correctness.

I think we'll keep it in check because if we're so anal during the process of deployment & redeployment, they'll go the extra 100 steps to make sure all civilians and soldiers are checked thoroughly

I have lost my trust in the CDC. This was BEFORE the Ebola. The CDC can't even handle Anthrax!
