The Obama administration announced yesterday that there are currently no plans to restrict flights coming from countries where there has been an Ebola outbreak.
Include National Review’s Jim Geraghty among those asking why there aren’t flight restrictions:
Why Aren’t We Stopping Flights from Countries With Ebola? http://t.co/YhZyCQ84yk pic.twitter.com/kyVotnn557

Geraghty proposed a scenario that might speed up the flight restriction process:
I guess we'll stop all flights to & from the Ebola outbreak countries if they do something dangerous like bomb Hamas. http://t.co/YhZyCQ84yk

That’s a totally believable scenario.
