Ok, in a nut shell (and trust me, there are more posts upstream with more information...)
UAE now issues passports to Falcons. These passports require a list of Vaccines. Two vet research facilities have live viral vaccines that are required to be issues passports. Live viral vaccines are sheddable. One of the URLs below is for Falcon pox. Another poster from this thread is familiar with Falcon pox and says it is a non issue. However, Pox viriis was a bio weapon Iraq/Russia has been playing with. So to date, if this is harmless, it is a nonissue. If it isn't harmless, then falcons are being bread to become immune shedding carriers for harmful viruses as a bioweapons vehicle.
Start from this url and work your way back if you want more info:

I think they were crossing smallpox and camelpox...and who knows what else, as there were rumors about ebola. The potential danger of falcon vaccination passports from the UAE would be to set the bird up as a timed vector. It would take environmental factors or a simple injection of some sort (anti-inflammatories?) to trigger the immunesuppression and start the viral shedding. I think with this avian flu this is already occurring without assistance...just a matter of infection. If the avian flu continues killing humans at the 3 out of 4 rate, they don't need anything else until we get a human vaccine.

http://www.fortunecity.de/kunterbunt/camping/25/falkenklinik.html "Basically, in order to keep track of which birds had been given vaccines and treatments, we needed a fool-proof way of documenting their records," he said. His wife Cheryl originally came up with the tagging idea. She said: " Things were getting very confusing because if you can imagine having just 10 customers called Mohammed, owning around 20 birds each with about five different names, keeping records became extremely different. The birds also move around and change owners, which compounds the problem. I decided to do some research and found out about chipping, which had been used on cats, dogs and even fish at that point. However, no-one had thought about trying it with falcons, so we were the first ones in the world. We've now got files on 15,232 birds," she said.
