Why? Is it an accountability issue? Are you fearful of leaving a
written history? Or are you paranoid of your fellow man?

In addition, all CFI's are
required to complete Security Awareness Training.

Perhaps the reason you received the notice is, because there is no
record of your having completed the above required training?

Security Awareness Training

TSA defined “flight school” to include individual flight
instructors because the agency believes that individual flight
instructors are just as likely to experience suspicious
circumstances and activities of individuals applying for flight
training as large flight schools. Under the IFR, individual flight
instructors are required to conduct security awareness training
for any of their employees, including themselves. The IFR provides
the option of using a security awareness training program
developed by TSA, which will be available at no cost to flight
schools by contacting TSA (703-542-1222 or ) or
by visiting the TSA General Aviation website at
http://www.tsa.gov/public/display?theme=180

You can pose your question to AOPA:

We got a visit. Folks from the TSA visited our local flight school, and
demanded that the school get and keep on file a copy of ALL students birth
certificate or passport. Not foreign students mind you, all students. I was
told that I am exempt by virtue of my CFI.

Got one this week (or last week, I've been out of town) that says that new
rules for CFI's have been implemented, etc, etc, etc. The odd thing is,
it looks like it was printed on a $50 printer and wasn't even in an
official envelope like I'm used to seeing from the FAA. It really only
had a bunch of links in the letter. Has anyone gotten this?

We got a visit from the TSA folks. They were very pleased that
our records were complete and up-to-date. Their comment was
that we were the first flight school that they reviewed that
fully complied... student records, CFI training/retraining.
Then they went away... quietly! It was a good day!

Some agents just make up the rules as they go along. BATF
was very creative, they would answer questions on the
telephone about gun laws and make a note about who they
talked to, but not what they said. Then based on the fact
that they had lied to the citizen, they would go arrest that
citizen because if the citizen followed the instructions
given over the phone, they had broken the law. Eventually
Congress did hold hearings and the BATF was slapped on the
wrist with a limp noodle [their budget was cut $5M].

The war on terror includes all of us, and as such the
terrorists have succeeded in making us change our way of
life. The war will be won when we kill all of them. The
terrorists are willing and even eager to die for their
cause. Let's do them a favor and speed up their demise.
