We have a major mental health issue in the US and until at start to address it, we will just have to get used to this.
I'm not sure where you are coming from. My perspective is that the problem is that the rights of the few are championed over the safety of the many. The "right" to travel isn't in our Bill of Rights. Hence, there are many people on the Do not Fly lists. However, enough people use patient/client privilege to ensure that people with mental illnesses are protected.

I do agree that mental illness is a huge health issue.
