Paul... I believe the answer is... you are adding to what you do not already
have.. so it would require the TSA registration... if you are getting
"currency" training or qualification as in a flight review, or a check out
at a new FBO to rent an ASEL.. then you do not need to do the TSA dance.

Are you an alien student? Do you have a TSA online account? For a U.S.

Well, I'm a resident alien. And I got my pilot certificate and instrument
rating long before these stupid rules came along, so I don't have a TSA
online account.
