New Jersey Customs Agent: We're Not Prepared for Ebola
A federal customs official at New Jersey's Newark International Airport says that they are not trained or equipped to face passengers who might be infected with Ebola.
President Barack Obama finally announced that five of the nations largest international airports will begin Ebola screenings in an effort to identify possible Ebola carriers and prevent an outbreak here at home.
Federal officials plan to implement the new screening regime at New York's Kennedy International, Washington D.C.'s Dulles, Chicago's O'Hare, Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, and Newark's Liberty International.
But a new report by a Customs agent at Newark's Liberty Airport says they are not ready at all if Ebola happens to show up in New Jersey.
"They are assuring the public everything is being done, but it is not," the agent told New York's NBC 4.
