Airline Passenger Has TB

June 4, 2007 | ISSUE 43•23

An Atlanta lawyer recently flew two transatlantic flights after being diagnosed with a rare and dangerous strain of tuberculosis. What do you think?

All the amazing tourist destinations right here on our own soil just weren't good enough, huh? Well, you won't see me coming down with the plague after visiting Hershey Park, that's for sure.

I was one step from taking that flight myself. Thank God for racial profiling.
