Emily, do you have a scanner? Scan and post the letter as
text and ask your question again. It could somebody has
thought of a "practical joke" and got your address somehow.
Be sure to edit out your personal name and address/phone if
they are on the letter.

Scanner doesn't work with the new computer, but I type fast.

"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.

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
yesterday.
