Customs And Border Protection: Customs And Border Protection Officer

Medical Records Dept: The 64 year-old Toronto woman was fingerprinted and photographed. She questioned the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer about how he accessed her medical records. He said he didn t. Instead, he knew police had attended her Toronto home in 2006 because she had done violence to self, according to The Star. I was shocked and confused, Kamenitz said this week at the office of her lawyer, Barry Swadron. He is trying to figure out how the information was disclosed before deciding whether to take legal action and when Lois Kamenitz arrived at Pearson International Airport in November, hoping to board a flight to California, she was stunned to learn that U.S. border officials were barring her entry. The reason: Years ago, she attempted suicide. Kamenitz, who stands just 4-foot-10, was never told exactly why she was prohibited from boarding that flight on Nov. 20. She s not sure if Americans were worried she would do harm to herself or others, or whether they were concerned she was a threat to national security. She wryly raises her hands, which are disfigured from a severe disabling form of arthritis. As reported in the news.
