TSA rule, what does this mean?

What do you think the "flight training not "lead(ing) to an FAA
certificate or type rating" refers to?

"I don't care about landing, I just want to know how to fly it."

I've known a couple of people (and heard of others) who took lesson for
years with no intention of ever getting their license (or even soloing
in some cases). One example was an old guy who flew out of the first
FBO I flew out of. He had lots of money, but sucked as a pilot. He had
hundreds of hours, almost all of it dual. He loved flying, but knew he
wasn't any good at it, so he was satisfied to just fly around with
instructor.

The other type would be someone who can't get a medical, but wants to
fly. He/she could fly all they want with an instructor, but will never
get a certificate.

I suppose those cases could be looked at as glorified passenger rides,
but I would take that paragraph to mean these types of operations.

teachers would hold classes on subjects determined by a student
vote. By far, the most popular seminar (which was finally moved to the
auditorium after a couple of years, and was "standing room only") was
titled "The Chemistry of Explosions". The end of the seminar featured
a trip out to the athletic field to watch theory put into practice.
I would hazard a guess that they don't do that anymore.

In high school we liked to play around with drops of mercury in our palms, or
sticking a finger in a beaker of mercury (difficult to to, actually, since
it's so heavy). But I read not long ago about a high school in which someone
found a drop of mercury on the floor and the entire school and neighborhood
was evacuated while hazmat teams moved in to clean up.

That explains a lot.

From Wikipedia, "Mercury, like lead, is a neurotoxin, and elevated blood
mercury levels lead to retardation and deformities in children."

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I could come up with a couple gallons of the old high quality lead based
paint, if you want to redo your bedroom, opps, I mean flight deck.

Read all of the article, and especially read the separate article on mercury
poisoning.

You should try to. You might be surprised to learn who wrote some of those
articles.
