Perhaps it is not necessarily in the best interests of the US that
Japanese or other foreigners find cheap aviation training here.

And why not? Some of them will buy and fly US aircraft, other folks will
call them tourists.


A particular business is affected negatively by necessary security
requirements? So sorry, but stuff happens.

But if the requirements are useless? That stuff shouldn't happen.


Strengthening the competitive capabilities of foreign airlines or
enhancing the careers of their employees doesn't seem like something we
should be doing.

Lighten up - they aren't being trained in Airbuses. It's Boeings and
Cessnas! "Strengthening the competitive capabilities of foreign
airlines" is a good thing if their airlines buy Boeing airplanes. There
are many Japanese pilots trained at Moses Lake, Washington (state), in
the 747s they are buying. I don't mind dodging these guys as I fly my
glider past the airport there.
