Ebola comment gets passenger hazmat escort from plane
By Ben Brumfield, CNN

(CNN) -- Ebola is no laughing matter, especially not at airports or on planes, where screenings have gotten tighter.

So, when a man on a flight on Wednesday may have joked that he had been to Africa and had the deadly disease, he received a special escort off the plane.

Four officials in blue plastic hazmat suits boarded U.S. Airways Flight 845 to retrieve him after it landed in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

"I was just kidding," he could be heard saying in a video posted to social media. "I ain't from Africa!" he continued, as he walked with the officials down the aisle of the plane.

6. I would hope so!

That was a major danger for everyone on that plane. I was a good thing they didn't have a riot start!

7. If they can't find a way to criminally prosecute his sorry ass,

at the very least he needs to go on the No Fly list.
