I certainly hope there remains some provision for due process!! (and not just the random arbitrary and capricious processes of the TSA that we have come to expect from them)
I am especially appalled at this part...
From PPRUNE -
49 C.F.R. § 1540.113, requires pilots to allow inspection of their pilot and medical licenses by TSA, but the regulation does not specify which TSA personnel are so authorized to inspect licenses, what the procedure for the inspection is, what kind of training TSA personnel have to accomplish in advance of performing this function, or any other specifics.
