Whitehouse petition: Ban flights to/from ebola stricken countries

[EvilElmo]

Not that the pretender in chief would actually listen but here's a chance to sign a petition asking the FAA to ban all flights to/from countries stricken with ebola.

Done!

I'm not sure how effective this would be. There are no direct flights from west Africa to the U.S. those flights go to Europe and then here. People from those countries get on connecting flights to the U.S. along with people from other places of the world. They'd have to not permit visas from those west African countries. If they are already American citizens, it makes it a lot more difficult to restrict their travel. So, there's no way to "ban" flights but they certainly could not allow people with visas from there into the us.

^^. Once they've hit any major airport, that airplane has flown.

Wouldn't be a stretch to work it via passport. Deny travellers entry if they're from an aflicted country. Dealing with direct flights only would slow it down at best.

Dumb petition since there are few flights from USA to Africa. Trying to keep track of connecting flights would be almost impossible. Would you ban a flight that had a few travelers from Africa and the rest of the passengers were from Europe?

Before we shut down the flights, could we send Bathhouse Barry, the whole of congress, and the 9 folks in black robes over there for a junket?

Shut the flights down once the bastards hit the soil of Liberia.

petitions are pointless, Obama doesnt care what we want, no amount of complaining will change what he will do. he will never close the borders, shut down air travel or do anything to keep us safe. This is what he wants. No one in gov't is willing to stop him either. So we will sit here and take whatever we get. what a sick party
