Surely the TSA rules only apply inside the United States?

They apply to any flight training that is carried out under FAA
regulations,
by an FAA-certified instructor, anywhere in the world. They also apply to
flight training that is given by flight schools in the US, certified under
US regulations, that would *not* lead to a FAA certification.

All you have to do is read the IFR itself and the three letters of
clarification. Actually, now I've done that myself again I've realized the
following. Thanks to the way the Definitions section is written and then
modified, an instructor who has a JAR instructor certificate and a FAA CFI
(that they are not actually using), who is training European students
towards a European certificate, is covered. I think that's unintentional,
but that's what they wrote, and that particular scenario is probably
constitutionally moot because it's outside their authority.

(note that they now define flight training as "training that could be used
towards a new airman's certificate or rating"; there's no qualification
that
it has to be an FAA rating. I suspect some insular thinking there).

However a FAA CFI without a JAR instructor rating could not teach in the UK
and take a fee. In that case, if he taught using his JAR rating as the basis
and signed it off using his JAR licence number, the hours are allowable
against any FAA training requirements and no paperwork needed.

A FAA CFI without a JAR instructor licence cannot teach and get paid but
would have all the paperwork to do as he would be following US regs.

Excellent!
