I'm missing the point huh... Then why does it say the following on the website of the place that controls international travel? :rolleyes:
U.S. Passports & International travel...

Do You Have All Required Travel Documents?
Most U.S. citizens must use a U.S. passport to travel overseas and reenter the United States. A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies your identity and citizenship. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to issue U.S. passports.
Most foreign countries require a valid passport to enter and leave. Some countries may allow you to enter with only a birth certificate, or with a birth certificate and a driver’s license,
but all persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air, must present a valid passport to reenter the United States.
If you are traveling by land or sea, you must provide evidence of both your U.S. citizenship and your identity when you reenter the United States. For many land or sea trips this means you can travel using the new U.S. passport card instead of the normal passport book. Read more about U.S. passport requirements.
Like I said before & I'll say it again... Bullshit, If you want to avoid people contracting Ebola stateside, Remove the travel of people that are the most likely carriers :meh:
Medical staff & military going to & from Africa on monitored flights for humanitarian reasons along with others that might have legit reasons like business etc. can be screened easier than the entire population of Africa having A revolving door to the rest of the planet. right? Limit "All" leisure travel from U.S. to infected areas... Period, until the outbreak is under control. Passport screaning would show travel to Africa immediately (stamped on Passport) for people from other countries to the U.S. instead of "Tell Us if you've been there" Be honest, Tell the truth OK? :rolleyes:
How reliable do you think that is :confused:
