Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me!
Oh, but you're not paranoid if they really are out to get you!
This thread reminds me of how the state of Florida, in the late 80's, cross-referenced DMV records with FAA medical records; hundreds of pilot got caught up...grand jury's, getting fired, etc.
I believe there will very soon come a day when the FAA begins cross-referencing perscriptions and even other medical records with FAA Airmen medical applications. The government is pushing increasingly for electronic medical records (part of the trillion dollar stimulus) and with Obamacare...you get what you vote for!
