I hope you're right about this, but I've seen some flight schools
saying that you need to present a US passport as proof of
citizenship.

I just called AOPA about this. They claim that anyone you've given
instruction to in the past is grandfathered. They also said that a
pilot cert that says "USA" on it is probably good enough proof of US
citizenship. They also said that there is no provision (or even plan)
for the FSDO to enforce this. No one knows who would enforce it and
what would happen to someone not in compliance. Of course this stuff
changes hour to hour.

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.
