Kathleen Sebelius isn't going to like this one bit...Another homeland security failure, brought to you by President Obama, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and an administration hell-bent on making Erroll Southers the head of the TSA. But this time, it isn't terrorism, it is a new flavor of failure - and it tastes like sneezes!
A passenger with tuberculosis was allowed to board a U.S. Airways flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco Saturday and fly cross-country, despite being on a "do-not-board" list.
CBS Station KYW in Philadelphia reports that the unidentified male passenger was apparently placed on a "do-not-board" list submitted to the TSA and CDC on January 8, 2010.
Investigators are trying to determine how the noticeably-ill man made it through security checkpoints and onto the plane.

Hmm... How about organizational incompetence, from the top down?
This can only mean one thing - it is time to pass comprehensive healthcare reform! If ObamaCare can eliminate TB, then there would be no one getting on a plane with TB. Easy enough!The damage had been done, however. Hundreds of unsuspecting passengers were needlessly exposed to the highly contagious fatal disease that primarily affects the lungs and can spread to the kidneys and spinal column. The infected male passenger slipped through even though he appeared on a do-not-board list submitted to both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
