[log in to unmask]" type="cite">One of the reasons why I would not even bother to attempt to apply for a visa for entry into the USA legally, unless I could have a guarantee of diplomatic exemption as per Yassir Arafat.

Does this not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act? Any thoughts on this? The broader question..How did the U.S. government obtain private medical information about a Canadian citizen?
