why epidemiologically dangerous elements like Ebola cannot get on airplanes
Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician, said his protective gear was taken away after he boarded his Delta flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He removed the protective gear — space suit coveralls, hood mask, goggles, gloves and boots with "CDC is Lying" written on the back of the coveralls — once he reached the gate.
"They gave me the option of confiscating my equipment or not flying," Mobley said.
