subject: Diabetes as a disAbility

My cousin is a diabetic and he applied for the TSA as a screener...
however they put him through so many hoops to try to get a job he just
gave up on the job.

The doctor that the TSA sent him to that did his physical made the
comment... I see no reason why you can't do the job... you are in better
condition than any smoker that comes in here but be ready to jump
through a bunch of hoops.

They wanted to get statements from every doctor he seen in the past 5
years.

Wanted two years of blood sugar readings

Wanted the doctors to forward two years of all of his medical records.

Why isn't diabetes a protected disability in the ADA?
