proof of law breaking, yes but the snooping is worrying

  She wasn't in the US at the time. Which US laws were broken?

    do they have to be US laws, if laws are broken in the country of origin it means she's a criminal.

      Using drugs is not illegal. Possession is, but if you are given something by a friend and take it (as described in the article) you don't take possession. There was no proof of any laws being broken.

  It's not just snooping .. that's communication between her and her doctor. Privacy advocates (and I consider myself one) can often come off as going a bit over-the-top - but communication between my doctor & I, and my lawyer & I, are pretty universally recognized as privileged. That she was banned because of previous exposure to contraband, doesn't really irk me so much. Canada treats American DUIs similarly, and borders are very much tit-for-tat. But searching bona fides medical correspondence to find this, seems like a genuine problem.

  Drug use is actually not illegal. Only possession is. The article says that she consumed something that she believed to be cocaine, offered to her by a friend. When taking drugs offered to you by someone else, you never take possession.
