Not really. Just let it be known that travelers from Ebola areas would not be admitted to the U.S. They would have to make arrangements with whatever airline they choose (at their own expense) and leave. Why would it be our responsibility? After the first few are turned back the problem would end because everyone would know it's a waste of their time and money. Of course we could do the same with... oh never mind...

Oh... the political minds missed a golden opportunity. Bill Frist would have been a good choice... but a brilliant choice would have been Dr. Ben Carson. It would have shown that this was being taken seriously... while ending all complaints. If he took the job or not it wouldn't matter. Political points scored all around for the POTUS.
