Ebola ruled out as passenger dies on Nigeria flight to JFK
2014-10-18
[NYPOST] A passenger died on a Nigeria-to-JFK flight after a vomiting fit Thursday -- and a top politician said officials gave the corpse only a "cursory" exam before declaring that the victim did not have Ebola.

Rep. Peter King
...U.S. Representative for New York's 3rd (central Long Island) congressional district, serving since 1993. He is of the Publican persuasion and is known for his active support for the IRA Irish republican movement...
said in a letter to Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection that the handling of the remains exposed serious flaws in airport preparedness for an Ebola outbreak.

Between 70 and 100 passengers a day arrive at JFK from the Ebola epicenter countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, King noted, and they have access to public restrooms and mingle with other travelers before their first screening.
