And even if Ebola DOES go airborne, there is evidence to suggest it will be attenuated. A study conducted by Fouchier and Kawaoka, published in 2012 in Science, has shown that, while it is possible for a virus to become airborne (and the requirements are somewhat quantifiable), the viruses that have been made to do so in the lab have lost their ability to kill. I.e., a gain of function is accompanied by a loss of "function." This would make sense, as the many changes that must occur in the virus's genome are likely to interfere with the function of the virus as a whole.
Overall, we shouldn't be to scared. Of that, at least.
