Interesting info, our medical records are not safe, no surprise

 Interesting...how do they keep track of our medical conditions...nothing is confidential anymore...Off the Homeland site. They just needed a reason to have a "do not board" list. 
How do we know if we are on that list when we make a reservation??

20. December 17, USA Today – (National) Loopholes in ‘Do Not Board’ list let infected
travelers fly. A federal “Do Not Board” list failed at least three times this year to stop
travelers with serious, infectious diseases from taking commercial flights, according to
information obtained by congressional investigators. Although the “Do Not Board” list
is separate from the terrorism “No Fly” list, its purpose is similar: to keep those who
might pose a threat to travelers from flying. Its success, however, appears to be limited.
From January 2009 until August 2010, nine infectious people on the list tried to board
flights, according to information the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
provided to Republican staff on the House Energy and Commerce committee. The list
proved successful in stopping six of them — including a traveler who was denied
boarding three times last December in California in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and
San Diego. The list failed to stop three others. The CDC said no one was sickened by
the three travelers, and a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesman said
the loopholes that allowed them to travel have been fixed. The “Do Not Board” list was
created in June 2007 after an Atlanta, Georgia man with drug-resistant tuberculosis
eluded federal authorities and set off an international health scare flying back to the
United States from his wedding in Europe.
