I have heard from a reliable source that if a CFI allows a passenger
to touch the controls, that is considered instruction in the TSA's
eyes.

70 some years ago in a little republic about 4000 miles East of D.C.
they did similar things. But they had not yet heard of TLA's (Three
Letter Acronyms), just 2.

These are nothing but feel good measures that provide job
justification for a few and inconvience the many.

If they were really concerned about security why, when I got my ramp
pass and gate code, was I not asked to show - any - form of
identification.

Not that any of this matters anyway. If I were inclined to commit
mayhem I'd head to the local truck stop, not the airport.
