Regarding HIPAA, there seems to be some controversy here about whether professors can use pictures of patients in their powerpoints to students. WHich seems a little nutty, and probably a case of nurses taking rule following too far.

Like JAMA, they want patient consent on any identifying-features pictures. In app, if you take a picture there is a way to get patients to give consent by signing.

Also, I like my Hyundai. It drives fine at over 80 mph (I know, I know) but it's also stick. And it's significantly less expensive than Mazdas or Toyotas or Hondas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is anyone here on the TSA Precheck program? How hard is it to get accepted, and do they take all your fingerprints?

Oh dear, I guess I better go check the news? Sounds like something ugly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you guys read Today In Tabs? It's a lot of media insidery stuff I don't care about, but his opening paragraph today makes it all worth it. [link] Worth it in a "Damn, the world is shitty" way.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm in TSA Precheck, Zen. It was pretty easy. I paid $80, IIRC, and filled out some sort of online questionnaire. Then I had to go to Greensboro, which was the nearest location to me for a in-person interview (which is about 45 minutes away). The interview took about five minutes, they fingerprinted me (digitally! so clean!) and looked at my passport, and in a couple of weeks I got my Known Traveler Number.

I love it. I would have missed a flight this year if not for breezing through security, and not having to take off shoes/jacket/take out electronics is the best.

I don't remember if they took all my fingerprints or just some. Disqualifying criminal offenses listed here [link] (Mostly treason/sedition/espionage/murder/bringing explosives onto planes, looks like.)

OK, so people do still have to take off their shoes? I haven't flown in over 5 years, so I didn't know what was current. This will inform what pair of shoes I wear when I go on vacation.

If you're not in TSA Precheck, yes.

They didn't have people doing this the last couple times I flew through Fort Lauderdale. They didn't even want me to take my laptop out of the carry-on, while in the past it had to go through on its own.
