to start secondary screenings of incoming passengers whether at kennedy airport in new york, washington dullesernational airport, would it be smart to start screening passengers arriving in the united states? >> i think that's a tricky question. but you're going to get a huge number of false positives. lots of people come back from holiday or come back from business overseas with a temperature. that's the main way of screening. if we're going to start isolating all of those people, it's going to real slow airports down and make travel very difficult and it probably isn't going to completely prevent ebola entering the u.s. >>> someone could be asymptommatic for 21 days. so in the end, if we really want to keep ebola out of the u.s., the best place to focus is on rolling it back in west africa. and all the screening measures, which now, of course, look very politically expedient, i don't think they're going to make a huge difference, to be honest. the place to screen that's very important is before people get on the plane. because what you don't want is contagious people on planes because it's a

one right here at dulles international airport. the federal government is closing all air travel when it comes to ebola screening. you may remember last week an extra level of screening was implemented at a handful of airports around the country. passengers arriving from west africa to these airports would have their temperatures taken. while officials at other airports were simply asked to keep an eye out for passengers with obvious symptoms of the virus. right now, under the government's new rule, passengers arriving from liberia, sierra leone, and guinea must enter through the five airports doing those special screenings. this news comes after new reports revealed that four passengers who arrived at dulles from west africa last week showed symptoms that alarmed c.d.c. officials. this according to "the washington post." those four passengers were hospitalized and later released. we talked to some passengers this morning about these stricter measures. here's what they said. we got too many flights coming in. so the best bet would
