Hi NewJersey, Recordings of neurological events in public are just that, public. The abscence of privacy in public places is a double-edged sword, as many misbehaving people and many misbehaving public officials have discovered. There have been many reports of people having seizures being ignored by the public, to being assaulted by the police. Documentation of such events is extremely important, and in my experiences, the notion of privacy has been exploited more in efforts of others to shield themselves from responsibility by being overly concerned with my privacy in public so as to spread a shield of ignorance when it benefits them in dealing with my legal rights. Otherwise, officials are very sloppy with protecting anyone's privacy, even in extremely private situations. Once I passed the age where Medicaid can run judgment against my estate, all of the Adult Protective Services have become overly interested in my well being (before this magic dividing line, the same social services wouldn't even return a phone call). Since they could always question my memory because of epilepsy (which they attempted), I decided to continuously record my location and audio whenever I'm in public, and I've already documented public officials being far from pursuing the public good and/or being helpful, and a couple threats of violence from the public for me carrying my GPS unit. Next, that will be illegal while walking because of the threat of "distracted pedestrians" to the public good. With security cameras being very common, lawsuits over the use of the created video are common, with the video being more freely available when it makes the person of interest look bad, and the video being nearly impossible of access when it makes the entity in control of the video look bad. Right now, it seems like having a seizure at an airport could easily be regarded as evidence of high likelihood of having a weapon of mass destruction or criminal intent with everything, so the more the documentation of the event, the better the actualization of legal rights and protections become possible. The "embarrassment" of having a seizure seems minuscule compared to the level of probable official over-response shortly afterwards in public. As far as the public poking fun at seizures, or holding people in contempt with seizures, or having a prurient interest in seizures, that never happens unless there is undeniable evidence of it happening, then it is regarded as happening to everyone. I got that line of balderdash from both state and federal bureaucrats, and private employers. Tadzio
