Why are they keeping secret the name of the guy who flew on airliners with tuberculosis


Why are they keeping secret the name of the guy who flew on airliners with tuberculosis?
This guy should be convicted of attempted manslaughter. Why are they keeping his name secret? He KNEW he had a really bad contagious disease yet he still flew. Since when do we keep criminal names secret?

Ahhh...because it's nobodies business what his name is. He has doctor/patient confidentiality. And it shows what kind of human being he is, not trying to grab his 15 minutes of fame by allowing his name to be released.
2 :
Probably for his safety. I guess there are a lot of people mad at him right now.
3 :
no one needs to know what his name is. they are allowing his seat assignments to be aired, there shouldn't be anymore need than that. if you are affected, you will know by the seat assignment.

Well first of all NOBODY has caught anything and the flight crew was all ready tested and was clean. TB is very easy to detect with a simple test. If they weren't exposed, most likely nobody else will get sick either. Of course they aren't going to tell the guys' name because people are totally nuts, would start harassing him and trying to hit him for lawsuits for being scared out of his mind. p.s. Yes he knew and you don't' think there are people running around with other contagious diseases that aren't telling others that they have them for fear of being condemned? Or they never got tested and passed it on to their partner? Think of all the venereal ie STD's in the population right now. Look at your question accusing a guy of manslaughter when nothing has happened, its called the lynch mob effect. You should be ashamed of yourself, they said it was just a precaution nothing has happened and if the flight attendants are okay I am sure the rest of the passengers will be the same.

He is innocent until proven guilty. There is no criminal here.
6 :
His medical condition is between him and his doctor. He needs treatment. And you think this guy is the only person in America with active TB who flies on airplanes? Honey, there are 15,000 people in the US with active (contagious) TB, and they're just the ones we know about. There are 15 MILLION Americans with latent TB, so I imagine the actual number of Americans with active TB might be in the hundreds of thousands.
7 :
Because, technically, he did not break any laws. Yeah, he may have been stupid and inconsiderate...but that is not a crime.
8 :
he is convicted already.
9 :
Because his life would not last long for what he did....manslaughter..knowingly travel and infect the public that way....does not mater how many people have the same thing or something else..if a person knowingly does that they are guilty as in AIDS too...if it was your family the answers would be a whole lot differ ant..
