Could Ebola become 'bioterrist threat'?

I haven't read the article, but I can say from just what I know, that any serious bioterroist threat would have to be airborne. Something that is relatively hard to get is not a good weapon for terrorists. They'd want to use something airborne and highly contagious. Smallpox would be a more likely candidate. They're still keeping the viruses alive in laboratories, ostensibly to be able to make the vaccine if someone gets a hold of the viruses they have in the laboratories that they will use to make the vaccines if someone... Anyway, it would take a long time to make enough vaccine and get it to the people, and millions would die before that.

The real fun will start when they start with the mandatory "vaccines".

They will begin to round up the non-compliant to house them or force them to take the "vaccines".

That is true.Ebola has not become airborn yet.

If it mutates and becomes airborne, then it might not take a terrorist to cause a pandemic. If one person who doesn't yet know he's sick goes to a busy airport and infects even just a few people, who then go to equally busy airports around the world and infect people there, who then go on to other countries and so on, it could spread around the entire world in a very short time.
