CDC Poster Shows Ebola Virus Does Spread via Liquid Droplets in Sneezes <<>> Ban Or Quarantine?

            1. This poster was removed from the CDC website shortly after the New York Post pointed out its existence. 
The poster does not imply that Ebola is airborne without the presence of the liquid droplets in a sneeze.
In an airplane, with strong air currents from its air circulation system, I see the three foot limit as being easily exceeded, up to possibly the whole aircraft interior. 
Even with an arbitrary 3 foot limit, if the Ebola sneezer walks down the aisle to the restroom, and sneezes a few times, many, if not all, of the plane's passengers could be exposed and possibly infected in the passenger section, without ever leaving their seats for the whole flight.
If the Ebola victim uses the plane's restroom, other bodily fluids are ejected, and can contaminate the restroom handles, faucets, sink, and toilet. 
An incipient Ebola victim may be asymptomatic before takeoff, and start showing symptoms during the flight.
Unknown to me: Does the same air circulation system flow to the cockpit even with locked doors? 
If not, how long should the pilots stay inside the cockpit after the passengers and the cabin crew have deplaned?
Everyone on the flight, including flight crew, will now need to be quarantined for 21 days. This is an implementation nightmare.
Unknown to me: The last line implies that an Ebola infected sneeze that falls on someones food or drink is not a problem. Is that realistic? Under what circumstances is it correct? Is it always correct?
Observation: I should note that the Ebola sufferer's degree of contagion is not very high on the first day of showing symptoms. However, that is observational, and not based on any scientific study.
