ROL NEWS--AeroTech Announces Certification of Three New Reload Kits

Asking for a photo ID can be legal in some cases, because you then have a choice which one to present.

Asking for a social security card for example, for anything but employment identification, is illegal.

Wrong. Illegal means a law has been violated. It means the lawbreaker can be punished with fines or jail. Exceeding a minimum standard set by law is not illegal unless there is a specific law which states that it is illegal. You have not cited a single law which makes it illegal to exceed the NFPA requirements for motor certs. You can't, because no such law exists.

So that makes it ok to concoct lies about TRA breaking a non-existent law?

Yes -- because there is a law which specifically makes it illegal to do so.

I thought you could circumnavigate that requirement and just label them as "model aircraft parts?"

Alas, neither of the above statements is true. Any one can ask. But unless required by law, you are not required to answer.

For any government entity to ask, they must state what law allows them to ask, whether you are required to comply, what will be done with the information, and what happens if you don't give it. Which doesn't mean that government agencies comply with the law either.

It seems that anything related to medical insurance tries to use SSN. I've had many battles over its abuse. The simplest solution is to just not give it out. I've found that not remembering it is easier than refusing to provide it.
