They said they're surprised American airports aren't taking precautions. 

“As we came to America, I mean it's on our passports that we have been in West Africa, an affected area, and nobody checked anything,” they said. “We were quite shocked by that, and that was Tuesday.” 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises all people who have traveled to an affected region to monitor their health for 21 days.
