Certification of airmen IS reserved to the federal government as a matter of
settled case law - the idiot actions of various councilmen not
withstanding...
Other issues such as training schools having to do fingerprints, background
checks, etc., per state law are currently in litigation, but so far the
rulings are favoring the federal preemption - Michigan, et. al.
State laws that require an airman to display his certificate to state and
local LEO's upon demand, have generally been upheld at the appellate level
as part of state powers to ensure the public safety...
