It's apparently not just about security.... (ignoring the fact that a sick person could also board a commuter train or subway).

TSA FAIL!

He made it onto the flight even after being added to a "Do Not Board" list provided to the TSA and airlines from the CDC, officials confirmed.

TSA's trying to do so much it doesn't do anything well.

And there's this gem:
US Airways made the decision not to notify passengers who were on the flight, based on what the CDC told them -- that there is little-to-no risk of exposure on a flight less than eight hours. This particular flight was about six hours long, according to Morgant Durrant, a spokesman for the airline.

"We don't want to incite any undue concern," Durrant said.

If he's little or no risk, then why is he on the do-not-fly list? And if he is a risk, then why weren't the passengers notified (and why the dismissal of concern).

What this country needs is COURAGE.
 
Oh for Pete's sake! Not much chance of getting TB inclose quarters in an enclosed tube with recycled air? Criminy, get the passengers and have them tested. Especially the ones who sat near the guy. The test is quick and easy.

Big surprise the TSA couldn't handle a thing like this. Just a bunch of expensive window dressing.
 
Surely the man with TB knew he had TB and had been told not to fly. So why did he board?

Sounds like multiple failures happening...

hmmm - little to no risk from exposure of less than 8 hours. This flight was only 6 hrs - what if it had been one of those flights that sat on the ground for 3 hours before taking off? What about the time spent sitting next to the guy in the terminal?
