Default Letter from TSA?

Googled for " "Jack Doe"+Federal Security Director+Dallas "
and got 11 hits, none that seem correct or related. Have
you called the Love Field office listed to see if it exists
or if there is a Jack Doe? [Sounds like John Doe's brother}

| "Dear Certified Flight Instructor:
|
| According to FAA records, you are listed as a Certificated
Flight
| Instructor (CFI) as described in 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR)
| Part 61. This letter is to inform you of new requirements
which may be
| applicable to the flight instruction you provide and to
let you know who
| you can contact should you have any questions.
|
| On September 20, 2004, 49 CFR 1552 was issued by the
Transportation
| Security Administration. According to the new regulation,
CFI's are
| required to take certain action when providing flight
instruction to all
| flight students seeking specific ratings. In addition,
all CFI's are
| required to complete Security Awareness Training.
|
| TSA and the Airplane Owners and Pilots Associate (AOPA)
have several
| resources available that provide guidance on the
implementation of this
| regulation. The following resources are available to both
flight
| instructors and flight students.

| bunch of links
|
| If you have questions after accessing the above
information, you may
| contact Senior Aviation Security Inspector John Doe at
phone number or
| email address.
|
| Sincerely,
|
| Jack Doe
| Federal Security Director (Acting)
| Dallas Love Field (DAL)

| Anyway, the links are all valid and do link to the rules
that we all
| know and love, but it's just an odd letter. Like it says,
this has been
| around for almost two years, so why was a letter being
issued now, and
| why from the local office? I guess I could always contact
the TSA and
| ask, but they're in the doghouse with me after stealing my
medication
