Although it wasn't due for another 2 months, I decided to play it safe and
extend my ability to fly despite the TSA for another 22 months.

I don't suppose anyone has heard any rumors from inside the TSA? There's
nothing on their website
(http://www.tsa.gov/public/display?th...00051980003002 doesn't
even admit to the existence of 49 CFR 1552) and nothing on AOPA's. I don't
want to sound alarmist beause I think there's been enough pressure on them
to at least delay implementation. But FAA instructors in New Zealand have 17
hours before they start complying (unless there is some implicit definition
of date using Zulu or Eastern).

Has anyone asked how they are going to enforce this crap in practice? Not
that I want to start messing with the Feds, especially as I've made my
feelings public and the DHS knows where I live.
