Although they are not allowed to "not" hire you because of your CF, they can and may find another reason not to hire you. I know first hand about how companies get around not hiring someone...unfortunately this is the way it works.
I wouldn't say anything until absolutely neccesary. I would secure a job and prove yourself first before disclosing personal information.
Good luck!

I agree 100% with Christina...secure the job first, and only disclose CF after the fact, and even then, on a need to know basis.
A couple of my co-workers I am close to know about my CF, but my boss still doesn't know (my old boss did though). He just knows I have to go to the doctor a lot, but I use my vacation/choice time days to do so, so it's not a big deal to him. It really just depends on the kind of working relationship you have with your boss and co-workers.
Definitely would not disclose it during the interview process though, as I'm sure they would find "some other reason" not to hire you.

I agree with those that have said to not tell until you have already started your job unless you anticipate needing to miss time right away. I have found it is better to have proven yourself and then as the need arises you make your boss, and any other people you feel need to know, aware of your situation. I had just started a new job and 3 weeks into it I ended up in the hospital. It came out of nowhere and I actually had to call in from the hospital and tell them I wouldn't be in for a couple weeks. While they seemed ok with it I did notice my role was somewhat changed after and 9 months later I was laid off(along with 4,000 other employees so it would be hard to prove discrimination).
