@emptywheel Who disclosed it? Hospital or public official?

@PogoWasRight Not entirely sure. Is TSA subject to HIPAA? That's what I'm trying to figure out, cause it's being used to flame fear. -
@emptywheel .@DanielSolove can correct me if I'm wrong, but#TSA is NOT a covered entity under#HIPAA. -
@PogoWasRight The border exception equivalent to a laptop search? Public temp readings?@DanielSolove -
@emptywheel#HIPAA does have some exemptions, but they're spelled out. They *may* disclose to public health. Not to media if no consent. -
@PogoWasRight Yeah, initial stories were anonymous, so that may be the thing. Still, her actual temperature was normal. -
@emptywheel Just because public *wants* to know or thinks they#need* to know doesn't mean they *get* to know w/out consent.#HIPAA

@emptywheel AFAIK, it *is* subject to#HIPAA. Did nurse allow them to disclose? -
@PogoWasRight Doubt it. She's furious.

@emptywheel@PogoWasRight so TSA can have that info but they cannot share it without consent. Even with consent it's very limited. -
@primalpancake@emptywheel You need to keep in mind whether they disclosed personally identifiable info or just info on "a passenger." -
@PogoWasRight Right. Possible she self-disclosed with her column. In which case no PII.@primalpancake -
@emptywheel But keep in mind: even if she did self-disclose, that doesn't give#HIPAA-covered entity right to disclose further details.
