I think there is a new initiative for local TSA agents who deal with GA ops to get out into the community and make sure everyone is following their rules. I have operated as a CFI since 2003 and owned/operated a flight school since 2005. I had never heard a peep from the TSA.......until two weeks ago.
All of a sudden, they realize that there is a flight school in Liberty, Missouri and they want to check records. I said sure, no problem. They wanted to come in the same day. Ummmm, no. How about a week? No problem. They come in, spent 30 minutes with me looking at records. It was a total joke; all they did was look at the records of our current international students and one domestic student. They also asked to see the silly security training for certificates for everyone on staff. It was capped off with a nice 15 minute ride to the airport so they could snap pictures of three of our airplanes.
I will say this: they were very nice and respectful. Not at ALL like the TSA goons at airport security screening check points. We even discussed how ridiculous those people are as well as how asinine all the TSA rules are.
The best quote from them, as they are filling out their government inspection checklist: "What the hell are they asking on this line? That makes no sense. Ah well, we will just say you comply with that and not worry about it." Yeah, they said that about 10 times.....
