The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft?

Thus, the CFI w/o a medical cannot be a safety pilot under
simulated instrument conditions.

Uhhh... I'm not so sure about that. If a private pilot with a class III
medical can be a safety pilot, the addition of the CFI endorsement
should not remove that privilage. Could it be that it is merely that a
pilot could not log such flight as =dual=?
