uhhh, why?

ok, here's my scenario:

I am an independent flight instructor, been flying for a little over 4 years
now. Ya, still a student in my opinion; envy the lifetimers. Just got my
first Flight Review less than 30 days ago, was planning on getting my
Sea -addon, didn't manage to get that one accomplished. The flight
instructor I chose for my Flight Review didn't ask me of any birth cert and
the flight review I just gave a few days back, I didn't ask of such
material. I first heard of this TSA ordeal from a guy at school who knew of
it I don't know how; he's no pilot, aviation of much sort at all.

So, I keep records about as best as you can, entire filing cabinet full
separated between FAR necessaries and then just good info to reference on a
boring night.

TSA means that the last 3 months of my flying has been conducted illegal if
one were to put it that way and I probably do not have a proper Review, did
not conduct a proper Flight Review and therefore have broken the 61.51
logbook rule and the whole bit and more.

I attempt to always read the AOPA newletter every week and the NAFI every
week (which are almost identical between the two) and have failed to get
this TSA.

The FAA paper mails seminar advertising several times through the year but I
have failed to get any info toward this TSA rule. So what is the importance
of it. A birth certificate is something your mother is suppose to keep her
hands on and not for us to lose later on in life.

In attempt to keep my records as legal as they have always been, now I have
to go on my spare time and present, ask for, and backdate several pages of
material to keep my cabinet happy for a future worst-case scenario.

Do I have an argument or should I just shut-up?
oh ya, of course I will comply with the new law.
