I wasn't aware that medical disability information was a matter of
public record; interesting.

Who said it was? There's nothing to stop two
federal agencies from comparing databases, as
long as they don't disclose the information in
the databases to the public.

I'm *not* in favor of such fishing expeditions,
but just the same, the government has a long
history of doing them.

Just curious: Why would you be *against* the gummint comparing notes?

I, for one, am amazed and thrilled that the bureacrats actually
bothered to check something, for a change. The fact that We the
People are paying monthly "diability" stipends to physically-fit
pilots is a scandal that should rock the Social Security
administration -- not the FAA.

Unfortunately we pilots are the easier target to hit.
