You know, I thought the form then required the pilot to sign away his HIPPA
rights. Just looked back, it doesn't.

It used to, but quite a few people refused to sign it, and the FAA had to grant
them certificates anyway. One of the guys who refused happened to be a writer,
and this got a certain amount of publicity. IIRC, his certificate was delayed for
several months while they argued back and forth about it. I wasn't aware the FAA
had removed it from the form, though. Maybe there is some intelligent life out
there?
