At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if people tend to let their guard down in the days and hours before they leave the country.
Instead of quarantining by default, I think it would be interesting to offer a free, relaxing vacation in a low population density region to people who are returning from helping in Africa. i.e. you cannot leave West Africa and return to a major city directly. Instead you fly back to your home country by way of a desirable destination and hang out there for a few weeks.
It would be really cheap for the rest of us to provide
"the basics", e.g. a flatscreen TV (get the cableco or DirectTV and/or Dish to donate service), Internet connection (ditto on trying to get it for free from a provider) and if needed a computer, and then it won't be that onerous. Historically to my knowledge we typically haven't gone the prison route outside of special cases like Typhoid Mary.

Given gov't budgets in disease prevention, they're more likely to quarantine people in prions than a relaxing vacation
