Immigrants and people on visas such as student visas are screened for this as a visa requirement. However, there are ways of getting around this in foreign countries.

Thankfully, tuberculosis is not highly contagious and you usually only get it from repeated exposure to an infected person. Typically it occurs when people live in overcrowded housing conditions. The fellow passengers should be okay as their exposure was brief and a "one-off" encounter. It is...
