Every active CFI is required to have taken the TSA course.
It is also recommended that inactive CFIs also take the
course. At flight schools all persons who will deal with
students, from the receptionist to the mechanics take the
training and have the school record to prove it.
All new flight students must prove USA citizenship and that
must be recorded. Non-citizens must pass a TSA/HS
background check before training.

| All of the instructors at my facility did the TSA training
and
| "certified" for annual records. We only have a few foreign
students but
| the boss wanted to get us all under the umbrella. The
"training" course
| is laughable and simply means you keep bucking it up a
level to your
| supervisor!!
| Not a big deal at all but I resent having to do the
paperwork for TSA
| and the record keeping that is required "under penalty of
law..." Got
| it shoved in our faces and stuffed down our throats.
| National Identity Card coming next and I have been
predicting that for
| 20 years now. Some called me nuts and worse and that isn't
the end of
| my predictions either. Wish I was wrong but my batting
average on these
| things is nearly perfect to this point.
