Airport Screening for Ebola in London Heathrow Airport's Terminal One has instituted screening procedures to detect passengers who have the Ebola virus. Authorities are most concerned about passengers coming from Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. Airports in the U.S. such as Wasington D.C, Atlanta, Chicago, Newark and New York are also screening passengers. Health officials are using hand-held temperature scanners to detect passengers who have fever-level body temperatures.
