Okay. But, your Flight Instructor Certificate is: CFI1450645

CFwhat? By the way, when did they stop putting CFI before the number?
On my card, the "CFI" is after the number.

Nowhere in Subpart H--FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS is the term CFI used.

It's used in our flight instructor certificate numbers and appears in
every US instructor's logbook endorsement.

It is this little bit of freedom granted to citizens of the United
States of America

Although I'm not comfortable with the idea of "freedom" being granted
by bureaucrats, it's an interesting distinction that might trip
somebody up on an oral exam that might be better spent talking about
airspace or runway incursions.
