What might prompt WH to ban flights from Ebola outbreak countries? Jim Geraghty nails it

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:

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.
