Ok, for the sake of argument...let's say somewhere,
somebody in the TSA has done some research and can
point out how this might help the war on terror...and
that glider pilots should not be whining.

How do the John Walker Lindh's of the world fit into
this plan? And I would assume in this day and age...an
instructor would notify authorities of strange behaviour
of a student...regardless of his/her nationality.l

I have a FAA issued pilot license and section VI says:

When I became a US citizen, I sent the required letter
of notification
to Oklahoma city. Several weeks later I received my
new certificate with
'Nationality - USA' on it. At no point did I submit
any documentation
proving that I was what I said I was - they simply
took my word for it.
Hardly 'written certification attesting to my nationality',
IMHO.
