Met by customs and border patrol, thats normal. You might be met by a cdc personnel, and what they do is, i have a prop, this is not what they will do exactly, but they take the temperature, different than this, its a hands free device, are you running a temp, you are normal. If you had 101. 5 and symptomatic, they pull you aside to question you about your travel history, where have you been, have you been exposed to anybody with ebola . The trouble is a lot of people can still get through. If you dont have a temp, exposed to ebola, symptoms do not show up, they ask you, okay, just keep an eye on your symptoms. It symptoms develop over the next 2 is 1 days, see a medical professional and report yourself to the Health Department or cdc. Its a hole in the system, frankly.

He was not symptomatic, didnt have a temperature we believe. If they show up, no temperature, exposed to ebola, they may not be symptomatic for a couple days.
