I was talking to a colleague who is a freelance CFI and had just visited the
local FBO to register so that he could comply with the TSA Alien Training
rule reporting requirements, assuming it goes ahead. I think he has existing
non-citizen students. Actually, my reading of the rule is that freelance
instructors have to register so they can use the TSA's systems, except they
can't register because they aren't a Part 141 school. But I won't go there.

Anyway, he said the FSDO processed him OK and told him (take care with this,
it's hearsay) that they can't handle more than one or two registrations a
week.

Western Washington CFI's, you have 13 days. I hope there are only four of
you.

BOHICA......right behind this is the national identity card and right
behind that is big brother grinning from ear to ear with a UN sticker
and a french looking grin. HR 10 and S2774 are the bills before
congress. It isn't enough that we as individuals are being turned into
private data bases for the government, but we are threatened with huge
fines and jail time if we don't comply.
Its gonna drive me out of the business of teaching people to fly. I'm
already "registered" with the FAA, and have to comply with FARS for my
instructional efforts. What dummy came up with this requiremnt for
TSA? Some butthead who doesn't have a clue what is going on in the
real world. Probably a college grad and their first job??
I don't think enough people are seeing this for what it is nor are
they making any noises about it until its too late. AOPA is shaking
like a sick dog and trying to mitigate the requirements instead of
outright opposing and resisting them.
What in hell ever happened to the spirit of freedom in this country
and the backbone to stand up and be heard? Sure we have a terrorist
problem and it ain't hard to figure out where it comes from? Why not
attack that problem instead of restricting us more and more every day
to avoid "offending" some clowns sensitivity. Gettin sick and tired of
bending over to appease a few....
