Reviewer's Notes: 

Spec ex in the health coloumn might stand for special exemption.

Some of the passengers have numbers like 2648 and 1648 written in the read/write
coloumn. Usually these numbers have another digit in front, separated by a -. This shows 
that the passengers were tested for their reading ability. The first number is a number
for the language, the next 4 numbers are the number for a sentence they had to read.
