Ebola Travelers

        As many of you know, Ebola has became a great problem in our world today. The Ebola virus is extremely contagious. It is also mainly found in West Africa. Therefore, it has been diffused across the world by travel. In reaction to this deadly epidemic, many people are suggesting to ban travel form West Africa. However, travel bans in the pass haven't worked, such as the travel ban due to AIDs in 1987 issued by Ronald Reagan. I believe this travel ban could work. We have much better technology now than we use to. Now we could regulate who got on the plane or ship.
       When being interviewed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Barack Obama stated this: "I don't have a philosophical objection to a travel ban if that is the thing that is going to keep the American people safe ... A travel ban is less effective than the measures we are currently instituting."
