TSA rule - registration of freelance instructors

I was talking to a colleague who is a freelance CFI and had just visited the
local FBO to register so that he could comply with the TSA Alien Training
rule reporting requirements, assuming it goes ahead. I think he has existing
non-citizen students. Actually, my reading of the rule is that freelance
instructors have to register so they can use the TSA's systems, except they
can't register because they aren't a Part 141 school. But I won't go there.

Anyway, he said the FSDO processed him OK and told him (take care with this,
it's hearsay) that they can't handle more than one or two registrations a
week.

Western Washington CFI's, you have 13 days. I hope there are only four of
you.
