also why dont you say who you are as your post count is low and makes one wonder
Perhaps you should check yours. 49 CFR 1540.107 involves submission to screening and inspection and has nothing to do with the aircraft operator. The regulations apply to the individual requesting access to the sterile area or attempting to board a flight, and the requirement of these individuals to present their ID as part of the submission to screening and inspection.
This was changed in October 2008 when the new requirements of Secure Flight began to take effect.
I'm not exactly sure what you are implying in terms of my post count and my identity, but my name is William Clarke. I just joined Flyertalk last week.
