In the early days of the TSA, like when there were jackbooted thugs (american soldiers w/ weapons drawn) at the checkpoints, I remember being asked for a list of the medications I was carrying. I was intrigued w/ the request so I started to make names and prescription numbers up for the foreign bought meds the TSO was looking at. Once I saw what I wanted to see, namely a log with passenger name, med name, place of dispensing and physician name, I informed him that he was breaking Federal law by noting down the information I had given him and that he should not have even asked me the question (He was violating HIPAA). "What's HIPAA?" he asked. I spent the next 20 minutes explaining HIPAA privacy requirements to his supervisor, with the help of a ppt presentation I happened to have on my laptop. The supervisor was most appreciative and to this day, I have never seen that log again and neither have I been asked any questions about what meds I may be taking.
